sunlightlabs/jellyfish — Issue #5: Unicode support
Author: adamnfish

State: open

The `metaphone` and `soundex` methods support unicode strings, but no other method seems to.

e.g.

>>> match = jellyfish.jaro_winkler(u'éabc', 'údef')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
