Today in class, I made a spelling checker. When you spell a word wrong it turns the word red.

This is the check code:

 def check(self, event):
        content = self.text.get("1.0", tk.END)
        space_count = content.count(" ")

        if space_count != self.old_spaces:
            self.old_spaces = space_count

        for tag in self.text.tag_names():
            self.text.tag_delete(tag)

            for word in content.split(" "):
                if re.sub(r"[^\w]", "", word.lower()) not in words.words():
                    position = content.find(word)
                    self.text.tag_add(word, f"1.{position}", f"1.{position + len(word)}")
                    self.text.tag_config(word, foreground="red")
