Extending and rolling your own cost functions
There are 2 kinds of functions used to define costs for the dynamic programming minimum edit distance algorithm. The first is ctypedef int (*cmp_func)(int c1, int c2) which is used to compare two characters and return a cost. The second is ctypedef int (*char_func)(int c1, int c2). By implementing your own versions of these functions (I would recommned doing it in cost.pxd and inline'ing the function) you can pass them to the distance solver to implement your own weighting scheme. The cmp_func can be used to weight a substitution (for example a low cost to letter next to each other on the keyboard like w and e and high cost to far keys like z and p). The char_func can can be used to weight the insert or delete, for example you could weight inserts by their scabble scores.
