Project description
A Levenshtein implementation with a premissive license. Intended to be a semi-dropin replacement for pylev and to be faster by leveraging a C extension.
Requirements

Only tested with Python 2.7
Usage
Simple example.:
import pylev2 distance = pylev2.levenshtein('kittens', 'sitting') assert(distance, 3)
