Python ebook maker – 4.1 (finale)

We have made a very simple app to create an ebook with very few lines of code.

The final part of the code to make an ebook is this (until new ideas come):

import tkinter as tk
import glob
from time import sleep
import os
"""
aggiunto ctrl+s <Control+s> to bind of text
aggiunta label all'editor
"""

class Ebook:
	def __init__(self, root):
		"""Define window for the app"""
		self.root = root
		self.root.geometry("850x400")
		self.root["bg"] = "coral"
		self.menu()
		self.editor()

	# Widgets on the left ===============|
	def menu(self):
		"""Listbox on the left with file names"""
		self.frame2 = tk.Frame(self.root)
		self.frame2["bg"] = "coral"
		self.frame2.pack(side='left', fill=tk.Y)

		self.button = tk.Button(self.frame2, text="Save", command = self.save)
		self.button.pack()
		self.button_ebook = tk.Button(self.frame2, text="Save ebook", command = self.save_ebook)

		self.frame1 = tk.Frame(self.root)
		self.frame1["bg"] = "coral"
		self.frame1.pack(side='left', fill=tk.Y)
		self.button_ebook.pack()
		self.lstb = tk.Listbox(self.frame1, width=30)
		self.lstb['bg'] = "black"
		self.lstb['fg'] = 'gold'
		self.lstb.pack(fill=tk.Y, expand=1)
		self.lstb.bind("<<ListboxSelect>>", lambda x: self.show_text_in_editor())
		self.files = glob.glob("lezioni\\*.txt")
		for file in self.files:
			self.lstb.insert(tk.END, file)

	def save(self):
		with open(self.filename, "w") as file:
			file.write(self.text.get("1.0", tk.END))
		self.label_file_name["text"] += "...saved"

	def save_ebook(self):
		html = ""
		with open("ebook.html", "w", encoding="utf-8") as htmlfile:
			for file in self.files:
				with open(file, "r") as singlefile:
					for line in singlefile:
						if line[0] == "*":
							line = line.replace("*","")
							html += f"<h2>{line}</h2>"
						elif line[0] == "^":
							line = line.replace("^","")
							html += f"<h3>{line}</h3>"
						else:
							html += f"<p>{line}</p>"
			htmlfile.write(html)
		os.startfile("ebook.html")


	def show_text_in_editor(self):
		"""Shows text of selected file in the editor"""
		if not self.lstb.curselection() is ():
			index = self.lstb.curselection()[0]
			self.filename = self.files[index] # instead of self.lstb.get(index)
			with open(self.filename) as file:
				content = file.read()
			self.text.delete("1.0", tk.END)
			self.text.insert(tk.END, content)
			self.label_file_name['text'] = self.filename

	def editor(self):
		"""The text where you can write"""
		self.label_file_name = tk.Label(self.root)
		self.label_file_name.pack()
		self.text = tk.Text(self.root)
		self.text['bg'] = "darkgreen"
		self.text['fg'] = 'white'
		self.text['font'] = "Arial 24"
		self.text.pack(fill=tk.Y, expand=1)
		self.text.bind("<Control-s>", lambda x: self.save())
