What's fuzzywuzzy?
It's a string matching module. A string is variable that can store (and modify) text. It uses Levenshtein Distance to calculate the differences between sequences in a simple-to-use package.
Fuzzy string matching like a boss.
How to get started? First you should know Python programming.
pip install fuzzywuzzy
Then you can use it like this:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
from fuzzywuzzy import process
r = fuzz.ratio("this is a test", "this is a test!")
print(r)
r = fuzz.ratio("fuzzy wuzzy was a bear", "wuzzy fuzzy was a bear")
print(r)
This outputs the ratio:
97
91
You can run this from the interpreter:
>>> fuzz.ratio("this is a test", "this is a test!")
97
Another example of fuzzywuzzy:
>>> from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
>>> fuzz.ratio("this is a test","a test this is")
50
