Levenshtein

Introduction

The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast computation of:

• Levenshtein (edit) distance, and edit operations
• string similarity
• approximate median strings, and generally string averaging
• string sequence and set similarity

This is a fork of ztane/python-Levenshtein, since the original project is no longer actively maintained.

Requirements

• Python 3.5 or later

Installation

pip install levenshtein
