Description-en: extension for computing string similarities and edit distances (Python 3)
The Levenshtein module computes Levenshtein distances, similarity ratios,
generalized medians and set medians of Unicode or non-Unicode strings.
Because it's implemented in C, it's much faster than the corresponding
Python library functions and methods.
.
The Levenshtein distance is the minimum number of single-character
insertions, deletions, and substitutions to transform one string into
another.
.
It is useful for spell checking, or fuzzy matching of gettext messages.
.
This package contains Levenshtein for Python 3.
