cdiffer 0.2.3

Usefull differ function with Levenshtein distance.

Python C Extention 2 Sequence Compare

Usefull differ function with Levenshtein distance.

How to Install?

pip install cdiffer

Requirement

• python3.6 or later
• python2.7

cdiffer.dist

Compute absolute Levenshtein distance of two strings.

Usage

dist(sequence, sequence)

Examples (it's hard to spell Levenshtein correctly):

>>> from cdiffer import dist
>>>
>>> dist('coffee', 'cafe')
3
>>> dist(list('coffee'), list('cafe'))
3
>>> dist(tuple('coffee'), tuple('cafe'))
3
>>> dist(iter('coffee'), iter('cafe'))
3
>>> dist(range(4), range(5))
1
>>> dist('coffee', 'xxxxxx')
6
>>> dist('coffee', 'coffee')
0

cdiffer.similar

Compute similarity of two strings.

Usage

similar(sequence, sequence)

The similarity is a number between 0 and 1, base on levenshtein edit distance.

Examples

>>> from cdiffer import similar
>>>
>>> similar('coffee', 'cafe')
0.7
>>> similar('hoge', 'bar')
0.0

cdiffer.differ

Find sequence of edit operations transforming one string to another.

Usage

differ(source_sequence, destination_sequence, diffonly=False, rep_rate=60)

Examples

>>> from cdiffer import differ
>>>
>>> for x in differ('coffee', 'cafe'):
...     print(x)
...
['equal', 0, 0, 'c', 'c']
['insert', None, 1, None, 'a']
['delete', 1, None, 'o', None]
['equal', 2, 2, 'f', 'f']
['delete', 3, None, 'f', None]
['delete', 4, None, 'e', None]
['equal', 5, 3, 'e', 'e']
>>> for x in differ('coffee', 'cafe', diffonly=True):
...     print(x)
...
['insert', None, 1, None, 'a']
['delete', 1, None, 'o', None]
['delete', 3, None, 'f', None]
['delete', 4, None, 'e', None]
>>> # Matching rate option is `rep_rate` (default is 60(%))
>>> for x in differ('coffee', 'cafe', rep_rate=0):
...     print(x)
['equal', 0, 0, 'c', 'c']
['replace', 1, 1, 'o', 'a']
['equal', 2, 2, 'f', 'f']
['delete', 3, None, 'f', None]
['delete', 4, None, 'e', None]
['equal', 5, 3, 'e', 'e']
