Bug#806716: ITP: python-jellyfish -- Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Diego M. Rodriguez" <diego.plan9@gmail.com>

* Package name    : python-jellyfish
  Version         : 0.5.1
  Upstream Author : James Turk <james.p.turk@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/jamesturk/jellyfish
* License         : BSD-2-clause
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings

Jellyfish is a python library for doing approximate and phonetic
matching of strings. Includes algorithms for string comparison
(Levenshtein Distance, Damerau-Levenshtein Distance, Jaro Distance,
Jaro-Winkler Distance, Match Rating Approach Comparison, Hamming
Distance) and phonetic encoding (American Soundex, Metaphone, NYSIIS,
Match Rating Codex).


This package is a dependency on the latest versions of the "beets"
package, as noted in a recent bug report [1]. Jellyfish itself has no
external dependencies, and includes an optional C implementation of its
algorithms compiled using the distutils build_ext command [2].

Ideally I'd love to maintain this package under the umbrella and
hopefully guidance of the Debian Python Modules Team.

Please note that this package is unrelated to the existing "jellyfish"
debian package [3].
