Example Usage
>>> import jellyfish >>> jellyfish.levenshtein_distance(u'jellyfish', u'smellyfish') 2 >>> jellyfish.jaro_distance(u'jellyfish', u'smellyfish') 0.89629629629629637 >>> jellyfish.damerau_levenshtein_distance(u'jellyfish', u'jellyfihs') 1
>>> jellyfish.metaphone(u'Jellyfish') 'JLFX' >>> jellyfish.soundex(u'Jellyfish') 'J412' >>> jellyfish.nysiis(u'Jellyfish') 'JALYF' >>> jellyfish.match_rating_codex(u'Jellyfish') 'JLLFSH'
Running Tests
If you are interested in contributing to Jellyfish, you may want to run tests locally. Jellyfish uses tox to run tests, which you can setup and run as follows:
