Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
jellyfish is a library of functions for approximate and phonetic matching of strings.
|
|
|
|
Source code is `available on GitHub
|
|
<https://github.com/jamesturk/jellyfish>`_
|
|
|
|
The library provides implementations of the following algorithms:

Implementation
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Each algorithm has C and Python implementations.
|
|
|
|
On a typical CPython install the C implementation will be used. The Python versions
|
|
are available for PyPy and systems where compiling the CPython extension is not
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
To explicitly use a specific implementation, refer to the appropriate module::
|
|
|
|
import jellyfish._jellyfish as pyjellyfish
|
|
import jellyfish.cjellyfish as cjellyfish
|
|
|
|
If you've already imported jellyfish and are not sure what implementation you
|
|
are using, you can check by querying ``jellyfish.library``::
|
|
|
|
if jellyfish.library == 'Python':
|
|
# Python implementation
|
|
elif jellyfish.library == 'C':
|
|
# C implementation
|
|
