root.title("Python Text Editor")

root.geometry("600x400")

# Function to open a file

def open_file():

    file = filedialog.askopenfilename(defaultextension=".txt", filetypes=[("Text Files", "*.txt"), ("All Files", "*.*")])

    if file:

        with open(file, "r") as f:

            text_area.delete(1.0, tk.END)

            text_area.insert(tk.END, f.read())

# Function to save the file

def save_file():

    file = filedialog.asksaveasfilename(defaultextension=".txt", filetypes=[("Text Files", "*.txt"), ("All Files", "*.*")])

    if file:

        with open(file, "w") as f:

            f.write(text_area.get(1.0, tk.END))

# Function to clear text

def clear_text():

    text_area.delete(1.0, tk.END)

# Function to display about information

def about():

    messagebox.showinfo("About", "Python Text Editor\nVersion 1.0")

# Create a menu bar

menu_bar = tk.Menu(root)

root.config(menu=menu_bar)

# Create file menu

file_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0)

menu_bar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=file_menu)

file_menu.add_command(label="Open", command=open_file)

file_menu.add_command(label="Save", command=save_file)

file_menu.add_command(label="Clear", command=clear_text)

file_menu.add_separator()

file_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)

# Create help menu

help_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0)

menu_bar.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=help_menu)

help_menu.add_command(label="About", command=about)

# Create a text area

text_area = tk.Text(root, wrap="word", font=("Arial", 12))

text_area.pack(expand="true", fill="both")

# Start the Tkinter event loop

root.mainloop()
