Match strings in one file to strings in another file.
pip install -r requirements.txt
pymatch.py will compare lines in two files and print the closest match to
stdout.
$ python3 pymatch.py test/foo test/bar

...This app is not designed to show all edit distances; it is designed to show the
best matches. Once a perfect match is found, pymatch.compare() will move onto
the next string. Otherwise, it will compute all edit distances for that string.
This is intentional to save CPU cycles.
