## Introduction
The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast
computation of:

* Levenshtein (edit) distance, and edit operations
* string similarity
* approximate median strings, and generally string averaging
* string sequence and set similarity

This is a fork of [ztane/python-Levenshtein](https://github.com/ztane/python-Levenshtein), since the original
project is no longer actively maintained.

## Requirements
* Python 3.5 or later

## Installation
```bash
pip install levenshtein
```

## Documentation

The documentation for the current version can be found at [https://maxbachmann.github.io/Levenshtein/](https://maxbachmann.github.io/Levenshtein/)
