* Package name : thefuzz Version : 0.19.0 Upstream Author : Adam Cohen <a...@seatgeek.com> * URL : https://github.com/seatgeek/thefuzz * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: Python Description : Fuzzy string matching in Python Various methods for fuzzy matching of strings in Python, including: . - String similarity: Gives a measure of string similarity between 0 and 100. - Partial string similarity: Inconsistent substrings are a common problem when string matching. To get around it, use a "best partial" heuristic when two strings are of noticeably different lengths. - Token sort: This approach involves tokenizing the string in question, sorting the tokens alphabetically, and then joining them back into a string. - Token set: A slightly more flexible approach. Tokenize both strings, but instead of immediately sorting and comparing, split the tokens into two groups: intersection and remainder. I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team. This Python library was previously known as fuzzywuzzy before being renamed to thefuzz. There are five packages in Debian that depend on fuzzywuzzy: gnome-pass-search-provider python3-fluids wajig sublime-music python3-fluids Once these packages have switched to using thefuzz I will write to FTP master and ask for fuzzywuzzy to be deleted from the archive.
