lshtein¶

A class to calculate a similarity based on the Levenshtein distance.

If available, the RapidFuzz will be used which will provide better performance as it is implemented natively.

translate.search.lshtein.distance(a, b, stopvalue=0)¶

Same as python_distance in functionality. This uses the fast C version if we detected it earlier.

Note that this does not support arbitrary sequence types, but only string types.

translate.search.lshtein.native_distance(a, b, stopvalue=0)¶

Same as python_distance in functionality. This uses the fast C version if we detected it earlier.

Note that this does not support arbitrary sequence types, but only string types.

translate.search.lshtein.python_distance(a, b, stopvalue=-1)¶: Calculates the distance for use in similarity calculation. Python version.

A class that does terminology matching.
