Continuous Word Count

[sabbib]

import string
def main():
    print ("This program calculates the number of words in a sentence")
    sent = input("Enter a sentence: ")
    words = str.split(sent)
    print ("The total word count is:", len(words))
    print ("The total character count-withspace is:", len(sent))
    retry = input('''
Would you like to try again?''')
    if retry == ("Yes") or retry == ('yes') or retry == ('YES'):
        main()
main()

with this i get the word count and character count +1 after i hit enter, but what do i do so that the word count changes as i am typing, abit like the way it works on MS Word.

You do gui and put timer event to update word count.

I give you chance to do something you don't know rather than do something I learned allready. If you get stuck I may help. You may also use callback on change of text widgets contents instead of polling the change by timer. read my signature for crash course on forum rules and do study the code snippet archive.
