Levenshtein
The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast computation of Levenshtein distance and string similarity (by ztane)
TextDistance
📐 Compute distance between sequences. 30+ algorithms, pure python implementation, common interface, optional external libs usage. (by life4)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Four Useful Python Libraries You Don't Know About
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.

Near duplicate image detection
Now let's compare the hash to all the image hashes using Levenshtein distance. We'll use the textdistance library for that.
