Need your help for the spell checker in unix or python

Hi,
Want to know is there any command to correct the spelling using unix or python? Unix command "spell" will give only the list of the incorrect words . But i want the output along with the corrected word .
Thanks in advance

There are alternative spell-checkers: aspell, ispell. The "correct" word is not necessarily the right one. You have to manually select the correct word.
