        if d <= 0: return
        extensions = [hd+c for c in string.ascii_lowercase if hd+c in PREFIXES]

    ## Body of edits:

## Helper functions
def count_data(name, sep='\t'):
    with open(name) as f:
        for line in f:
            yield line.split(sep)
def product(numbers):
    "Return the product of a sequence of numbers."
    return reduce(operator.mul, numbers, 1)

## Run program
N = 1024908267229 # Number of tokens in 'big.txt'
P1w = Pdist(count_data('unigram counts.txt'), N)
P2w = Pdist(count_data('bigram counts.txt'), N)
p_error = 1./10. # assume spelling error every 10 words
PREFIXES = set(w[:i] for w in P1w for i in range(len(w) + 1)) # Norvig code
P1edit = Pdist(count_data('count_1edit.txt')) # Probabilities of single edits

tests = ['mimosa brunhc resterants', 'Where is teh Golden Gtae Birdge?', 'mimosa brunhc resterants near teh Goldengate Birdge?']
for test in tests:
    new = correct_text(test)
    print test, '-> Did you mean "', new, '"?'

getting syntax error at
c, edit = max(candidates, key=lambda (c,e): Pedit(e) * P1w(c))

can you please share the resource files?

Thanks, I used it in my text editor.
