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.
