AusAddressMatch

Address Matching for Australian Addresses. Compare Address A to Address B.

Functionality

• Match postcode
• Match state (abbreviated and non abbreviated)
• Account for abbreviations ie Street and St
• Remove "noise" ie Unit tower au
• Remove punctuation

Usage

from aussieaddress import Address


address1 = "U54 Loggins St, Kennytown, QLD 4123"
address2 = "U54 Loggins Street Kennytown 4123 Queensland"

# Initalise the Address Class
matcher = Address(address1=address1, address2=address2)

# Run Matching
matcher.run()

result = matcher.matched

# Show all options
print(matcher.__str__())

Options

You can turn off postcode_check and state_check functionality, on by default

matcher.postcode_check = False
matcher.state_check = False

You can also set the match threshold which by default is 75

matcher.threshold = 80

Updaing Replacements and Removals

To check the current removals

matcher.removals

Adding a new removal

matcher.removals = "Plank"

To check the current replacements

matcher.replacements

Adding a new replacement

matcher.replacements = ["Stroad", "strd"]

Note: with replacements each array is checked individually, with index 0 becoming the replacement value

Ie. ["Street", "st"] with 123 test st will become 123 test street
