why do you need that ?
which platform are you onto ?
On OSX you can use 'DictionaryServices' API
eg.,
import sys
import DictionaryServices
word = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])
print DictionaryServices.DCSCopyTextDefinition(None, word, (0, len(word)))
Gives the meaning of the input word (works with python 2.5)
You can use this script for Vi (~/.vimrc) if you want, control+a will do a
spell check.
" Toggle Spell-Check
set spell spelllang=
function ToggleSpellCheck()
if&spelllang == "en"
set spelllang=
else
set spelllang=en
endif
endfunction
command! ToggleSpellChecking call ToggleSpellCheck()
nmap<c-a> :ToggleSpellChecking<cr>
But again am not aware of your use case.

Hi,
I have a text file ,
a.txt
------------------------
this is a lcose button
where u can observer "lcose" is not a valid word.It's typing
mistake.Actual word is "close".
How do you discover the difference between e.g. use and sue, or are you
not interested in that?
How can i check that each word entered in txt file having correct
meaningful words as per English Dictionary.
Do you have any package which can check "English Dictionary"
In a pinch, I might use open("/usr/share/dict/words", "r") as a
thesaurus, and check for words in there. Read the file and create a
giant frozenset or something. For something a bit more civilized, I
expect that there's a python package interfacing at least one of
(ispell, aspell, hunspell, myspell) (and what they're all called.
There is a multitude of "English dictionaries". Some don't even include
"neighbour", imagine that!
Please help me.
Thanks,
Anu

Are you talking about correct English, as in that from Angleland, or are
you going for one of those silly foreign ones, like USA, South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand or wherever?
Kindest regards.

p.s. my mum was a Celt as in Welsh!!!
