Bug#816273: ITP: python-jellyfish -- Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings

[Víctor Cuadrado Juan]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Víctor Cuadrado Juan" 


* Package name: python-jellyfish
  Version : 0.5.2
  Upstream Author : James Turk 
* URL : https://github.com/jamesturk/jellyfish
* License : BSD-2-clause
  Programming Lang: C, Python
  Description : Python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching
of strings

 It uses the following string comparison Algorithms
 (it provides C and Python implementation):
  * Levenshtein Distance
  * Damerau-Levenshtein Distance
  * Jaro Distance
  * Jaro-Winkler Distance
  * Match Rating Approach Comparison
  * Hamming Distance
 .
 Supports the following phonetic encoding:
  * American Soundex
  * Metaphone
  * NYSIIS (New York State Identification and Intelligence System)
  * Match Rating Codex

It is a little library, but does its job.

I intend to maintain this package under the DPMT (which I am part of).

This package is a dependency for beets, #775719, which is lagging some
versions [1].
