Bug#806716: ITP: python-jellyfish -- Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings
Hi,
sorry for the late response. I just want to note that we have a
(non-Python) jellyfish inside Debian which is developed at
https://github.com/gmarcais/Jellyfish.
I do not see a name conflict but I wonder whether some hint might
be sensible.
Kind regards
Andreas.
