  Description     : Python extension computing string distances and similarities

Levenshtein computes Levenshtein distances, similarity ratios, generalized
medians and set medians of Strings and Unicodes.  Because it's implemented
in C, it's much faster than corresponding Python library functions and
methods.



python-levenshtein is recommended by the translate-toolkit (and Pootle) to
improve performance for fuzzy matching.
