    Sorry, just noticed you said you went to github. The way I found it was by going to the intro page (I don't really consider what's you're quoting to be docs), then going to github and then explored that. You yourself slightly missed it on github, it is in the the __init__.py file: https://github.com/pwaller/pyfiglet/blob/master/pyfiglet/__init__.py . There's also another docs file in that project but that is mostly for developers that are working on library itself, not users.

    While researching on how I could make my "welcoming" message look a bit more fancy and unique, I stumbled across the pyfiglet library! It allows for a great way of adding amazing text to your command-line interface:

  • Is it possible on Python?

    Yeah my hunch is that a combination of nltk, python-Levenshtein, numpy for language processing, pandas for gathering results and scrapy for web scraping should make it possible. Sadly such a project probably requires at least a month or two worth of training in Python to prototype. Good luck OP.

    I've used fuzzy-wuzzy and it is pretty slow if you can't install python-Levenshtein (which I couldn't, though I don't remember why). I ended up uninstalling it and using a custom matching algorithm for search in my app.

What are some alternatives?
