I am looking for a new maintainer to the project as it is apparent that I haven't had the need for this particular library for well over 7 years now, due to it being a C-only library and its somewhat restrictive original license.
The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast computation of
It 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:
pip install python-Levenshtein
gendoc.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.

This package was long missing from the Python Package Index and available as source checkout only, but can now be found on PyPI again.
We needed to restore this package for Go Mobile for Plone and Pywurfl projects which depend on this.
