Package: python-Levenshtein-wheels
ContentsIntroductionDocumentationLicenseHistorySource codeAuthorsChangelog0.13.00.12.00.11.20.11.10.11.00.10.1 - 0.10.2IntroductionThis is a fork ofpython-Levenshteinwhich also
distributes binary wheels for a lot of operating systems and architectures:Windows (amd64 and x86)OSX (10.6+)Linux (x86_64 and i686)The wheels can be installed with thepython-Levenshtein-wheelspackage on PyPI.The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast
computation ofLevenshtein (edit) distance, and edit operationsstring similarityapproximate median strings, and generally string averagingstring sequence and set similarityIt supports both normal and Unicode strings.Python 2.2 or newer is required; Python 3 is supported.StringMatcher.py is an example SequenceMatcher-like class built on the top of
Levenshtein.  It misses some SequenceMatcher’s functionality, and has some
extra OTOH.Levenshtein.c can be used as a pure C library, too.  You only have to define
NO_PYTHON preprocessor symbol (-DNO_PYTHON) when compiling it.  The
functionality is similar to that of the Python extension.  No separate docs
are provided yet, RTFS.  But they are not interchangeable:C functions exported when compiling with -DNO_PYTHON (see Levenshtein.h)
are not exported when compiling as a Python extension (and vice versa)Unicode character type used with -DNO_PYTHON is wchar_t, Python extension
uses Py_UNICODE, they may be the same but don’t count on itDocumentationDocumentation for the current versiongendoc.sh generates HTML API documentation,
you probably want a selfcontained instead of includable version, so run
in./gendoc.sh--selfcontained.  It needs Levenshtein already installed
and genextdoc.py.LicenseLevenshtein is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it

extract_editops for Python 3; now allow onlystreditops on
both Python 2 and Python 3, for simpler and working code.Added documentation in the source distribution and in GITFixed the package layout: renamed the .so/.dll to _levenshtein,
and made it reside inside a package, along with the StringMatcher
class.Fixed spelling errors.0.11.2Fixed a bug in setup.py: installation would fail on Python 3 if the locale
did not specify UTF-8 charset (Felix Yan).Added COPYING, StringMatcher.py, gendoc.sh and NEWS in MANIFEST.in, as they
were missing from source distributions.0.11.1Added Levenshtein.h to MANIFEST.in0.11.0Python 3 support, maintainership passed to Antti Haapala0.10.1 - 0.10.2Made python-Lehvenstein Git compatible and use setuptools for PyPi uploadCreated HISTORY.txt and made README reST compatible
