The problem is simple: the Tkinter Toplevel is the only widget that HAS 
a method called destroy(). Unless your FileEditor class actually 
inherits from the Toplevel widget, it can't be destroyed directly. 
However, you can define a destroy() method in your FileEditor that 
simply passes along the command to the Toplevel's destroy() method; for 
example:

class FileEditor:

    def destroy(self):
        self.toplevel.destroy()
