  • 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?

pangu.py - Paranoid text spacing in Python

fuzzywuzzy - Fuzzy String Matching in Python

chardet - Python character encoding detector

jellyfish - 🪼 a python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings.

TextDistance - 📐 Compute distance between sequences. 30+ algorithms, pure python implementation, common interface, optional external libs usage.

uniout - Never see escaped bytes in output.
