## Installation

### Stable

Only pure python implementation:

```bash
pip install textdistance
```

With extra libraries for maximum speed:

```bash
pip install "textdistance[extras]"
```

With all libraries (required for [benchmarking](#benchmarks) and [testing](#running-tests)):

```bash
pip install "textdistance[benchmark]"
```

With algorithm specific extras:

```bash
pip install "textdistance[Hamming]"
```

Algorithms with available extras: `DamerauLevenshtein`, `Hamming`, `Jaro`, `JaroWinkler`, `Levenshtein`.

### Dev

Via pip:

```bash
pip install -e git+https://github.com/life4/textdistance.git#egg=textdistance
```

Or clone repo and install with some extras:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/life4/textdistance.git
pip install -e ".[benchmark]"
```

## Usage

All algorithms have 2 interfaces:

1. Class with algorithm-specific params for customizing.
1. Class instance with default params for quick and simple usage.

All algorithms have some common methods:

1. `.distance(*sequences)` -- calculate distance between sequences.
1. `.similarity(*sequences)` -- calculate similarity for sequences.
1. `.maximum(*sequences)` -- maximum possible value for distance and similarity. For any sequence: `distance + similarity == maximum`.
1. `.normalized_distance(*sequences)` -- normalized distance between sequences. The return value is a float between 0 and 1, where 0 means equal, and 1 totally different.
1. `.normalized_similarity(*sequences)` -- normalized similarity for sequences. The return value is a float between 0 and 1, where 0 means totally different, and 1 equal.

Most common init arguments:

1. `qval` -- q-value for split sequences into q-grams. Possible values:
    - 1 (default) -- compare sequences by chars.
    - 2 or more -- transform sequences to q-grams.
    - None -- split sequences by words.
1. `as_set` -- for token-based algorithms:
    - True -- `t` and `ttt` is equal.
    - False (default) -- `t` and `ttt` is different.

## Examples

For example, [Hamming distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance):

```python
import textdistance

textdistance.hamming('test', 'text')
# 1

textdistance.hamming.distance('test', 'text')
# 1

textdistance.hamming.similarity('test', 'text')
# 3

textdistance.hamming.normalized_distance('test', 'text')
# 0.25

textdistance.hamming.normalized_similarity('test', 'text')
# 0.75

textdistance.Hamming(qval=2).distance('test', 'text')
# 2

```

Any other algorithms have same interface.

## Articles

A few articles with examples how to use textdistance in the real world:

- [Guide to Fuzzy Matching with Python](http://theautomatic.net/2019/11/13/guide-to-fuzzy-matching-with-python/)
- [String similarity — the basic know your algorithms guide!](https://itnext.io/string-similarity-the-basic-know-your-algorithms-guide-3de3d7346227)
- [Normalized compression distance](https://articles.life4web.ru/other/ncd/)

## Extra libraries

For main algorithms textdistance try to call known external libraries (fastest first) if available (installed in your system) and possible (this implementation can compare this type of sequences). [Install](#installation) textdistance with extras for this feature.

You can disable this by passing `external=False` argument on init:

```python3
import textdistance
hamming = textdistance.Hamming(external=False)
hamming('text', 'testit')
# 3
```

Supported libraries:

1. [Distance](https://github.com/doukremt/distance)
1. [jellyfish](https://github.com/jamesturk/jellyfish)
1. [py_stringmatching](https://github.com/anhaidgroup/py_stringmatching)
1. [pylev](https://github.com/toastdriven/pylev)
1. [Levenshtein](https://github.com/maxbachmann/Levenshtein)
1. [pyxDamerauLevenshtein](https://github.com/gfairchild/pyxDamerauLevenshtein)

Algorithms:

| Levenshtein        | **textdistance**      | 0.53902 |

Total: 24 libs.

Yeah, so slow. Use TextDistance on production only with extras.

Textdistance use benchmark's results for algorithm's optimization and try to call fastest external lib first (if possible).

You can run benchmark manually on your system:

```bash
pip install textdistance[benchmark]
python3 -m textdistance.benchmark
```

TextDistance show benchmarks results table for your system and save libraries priorities into `libraries.json` file in TextDistance's folder. This file will be used by textdistance for calling fastest algorithm implementation. Default [libraries.json](textdistance/libraries.json) already included in package.

## Running tests

All you need is [task](https://taskfile.dev/). See [Taskfile.yml](./Taskfile.yml) for the list of available commands. For example, to run tests including third-party libraries usage, execute `task pytest-external:run`.

## Contributing

PRs are welcome!

- Found a bug? Fix it!
- Want to add more algorithms? Sure! Just make it with the same interface as other algorithms in the lib and add some tests.
- Can make something faster? Great! Just avoid external dependencies and remember that everything should work not only with strings.
- Something else that do you think is good? Do it! Just make sure that CI passes and everything from the README is still applicable (interface, features, and so on).
- Have no time to code? Tell your friends and subscribers about `textdistance`. More users, more contributions, more amazing features.

Thank you :heart:
