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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ftfy and Levenshtein you can also consider the following projects:
fuzzywuzzy - Fuzzy String Matching in Python
chardet - Python character encoding detector
jellyfish - 🪼 a python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings.
xpinyin - Translate Chinese hanzi to pinyin (拼音) by Python, 汉字转拼音
TextDistance - 📐 Compute distance between sequences. 30+ algorithms, pure python implementation, common interface, optional external libs usage.
pyfiglet - An implementation of figlet written in Python
Charset Normalizer - Truly universal encoding detector in pure Python
pangu.py - Paranoid text spacing in Python
shortuuid - A generator library for concise, unambiguous and URL-safe UUIDs.
