This package provides the stringdist module, which includes several functions for calculating string distances.
This package provides the stringdist module, which includes functions for calculating raw and normalized versions of the following string distance measurements:
Levenshtein distance
Restricted Damerau-Levenshtein distance (a.k.a. optimal string alignment distance)
For optimal performance, the package compiles and uses a C extension module under the hood, but a Python implementation is included as well and will automatically be used if C extensions are not supported by the system (e.g. when the selected interpreter is PyPy).
