Example of usage in Python

[josephernest]

Thanks for this extension! Could you give an example of how to use it with Python sqlite3?

Would it work with something like:

import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
c = conn.cursor()

c.execute('SELECT LOAD_EXTENSION('??')') # D:\Test\Levenshtein.pyd?

c.execute('SELECT LEVENSHTEIN("This is not correct", "This is correct");')

or is there a specific way to use it with Python (would it need a wrapper?)

No need for SELECT LOAD_EXTENSION. From Python 2.7, the sqlite3 module has an enable_load_extension function. You can use it like this:

conn.enable_load_extension(True)
conn.load_extension('./liblevenshtein')
conn.enable_load_extension(False)

In this case, liblevenshtein.so is in the same directory as the script loading it.
