A super-mini Python text editor
✏️ Text Edit in Wonderland ✏️

The mini text editor for people who want to focus on learning Python packaging. This text editor lets you:
- Count the number of words, sentences, and characters in a file
- Determine the Colman-Liau readabilty index
- Replace a phrase or string with another phrase
- Change spacing between sentences from single space period to double space/period and backwards
and not much else.
Installing
These directions are for OSX/Linux-based systems. Windows will be slightly different.
- You'll need at least Python 3.5 to run Text Edit.
-
git clone https://gitlab.com/veekaybee/textedit.git
-
cd textedit
- Run
pip install .
- That's it! You're ready to use textedit.
- If you encounter any issues,
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/texteditpath"
to your~/.bashrc
or Windows equivalent. - Running tests:
python -m unittest discover
to test basic wordcount functionality.
Prerequisites
Python 3.5
Using the Package API
To import into your Python code:
import textedit
You can run the code interactively:
#Replace
python replace.py ../texts/alice.txt "Vicki" "Dora the Explorer"
Old Wordcount ('Words:', 274)
WC __name__: WC
New Wordcount ('Words:', 281)
parsefile __name__: __main__
#WordCount
mbp-vboykis:review vboykis$ python wordcount.py "../texts/alice.txt"
('Words:', 274)
('Sentences:', 7)
('Letters:', 1120)
# Readability
mbp-vboykis:review vboykis$ python readability.py "../texts/alice.txt"
('Reading Grade Level of Text:', 7)
Or, you can import it and use on a text file:
from review import readability #import everything in the file named readability
from review.wordcount import WC #import classes specifically
from edit.spacing import Spacing
from edit.replace import Replace
test_file = '../texts/pool_of_tears.txt'
# Count words
print("Wordcount.py")
alice = WC(test_file)
WC.counts(alice)
print("\n")
# Readability Index
print("readability.py")
print(readability.colman_liau(test_file))
print("\n")
# Change Spacing
print("spacing.py")
sp = Spacing(test_file)
Spacing.spacing_check(sp)
print("Spaces replaced")
print("\n")
# Replace Words
print("replace.py")
Replace(test_file, "Alice", "Dora the Explorer")
print("Words replaced")
print("\n")
Deployment
None! This is not a production-ready package. Install on your local machine and test it out and break things.
Built With
Love and Alice in Wonderland.
