I meant every word of it exactly as I said it. I answered Alexander's question about string similarity, and gave a technically better answer than those who just named Levenshtein distance as if it were the only option. And I didn't *just* answer his question, I gently gave a mildly-worded answer: do your research first next time. I didn't insult him, or call him names, or even call him out for disrespecting everyone's time. It surely took Alexander much longer to type up his email and send it to the list than it would have taken him to google "string similarity". It is not just for our benefit, but his too, that he should do his own basic research before asking questions. -- Steven _______________________________________________ code-quality mailing list -- code-quality@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to code-quality-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/code-quality.python.org/
