-FuzzyWuzzy
-==========
-
-Fuzzy string matching like a boss. It uses `Levenshtein Distance <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance>`_ to calculate the differences between sequences in a simple-to-use package.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
--  Python 2.7 or higher
--  difflib
--  `python-Levenshtein <https://github.com/ztane/python-Levenshtein/>`_ (optional, provides a 4-10x speedup in String
-   Matching, though may result in `differing results for certain cases <https://github.com/seatgeek/fuzzywuzzy/issues/128>`_)
-
-For testing
-~~~~~~~~~~~
--  pycodestyle
--  hypothesis
--  pytest
-
-Installation
-============
-
-Using PIP via PyPI
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    pip install fuzzywuzzy
-
-or the following to install `python-Levenshtein` too
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    pip install fuzzywuzzy[speedup]
-
-
-Using PIP via Github
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    pip install git+git://github.com/seatgeek/fuzzywuzzy.git@0.18.0#egg=fuzzywuzzy
-
-Adding to your ``requirements.txt`` file (run ``pip install -r requirements.txt`` afterwards)
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    git+ssh://git@github.com/seatgeek/fuzzywuzzy.git@0.18.0#egg=fuzzywuzzy
-    
-Manually via GIT
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    git clone git://github.com/seatgeek/fuzzywuzzy.git fuzzywuzzy
-    cd fuzzywuzzy
-    python setup.py install
-
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    >>> from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
-    >>> from fuzzywuzzy import process
-
-Simple Ratio
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    >>> fuzz.ratio("this is a test", "this is a test!")
-        97
-
-Partial Ratio
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    >>> fuzz.partial_ratio("this is a test", "this is a test!")
-        100
-
-Token Sort Ratio
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    >>> fuzz.ratio("fuzzy wuzzy was a bear", "wuzzy fuzzy was a bear")
-        91
-    >>> fuzz.token_sort_ratio("fuzzy wuzzy was a bear", "wuzzy fuzzy was a bear")
-        100
-
-Token Set Ratio
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    >>> fuzz.token_sort_ratio("fuzzy was a bear", "fuzzy fuzzy was a bear")
-        84
-    >>> fuzz.token_set_ratio("fuzzy was a bear", "fuzzy fuzzy was a bear")
-        100
-
-Process
-~~~~~~~
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    >>> choices = ["Atlanta Falcons", "New York Jets", "New York Giants", "Dallas Cowboys"]
-    >>> process.extract("new york jets", choices, limit=2)
-        [('New York Jets', 100), ('New York Giants', 78)]
-    >>> process.extractOne("cowboys", choices)
-        ("Dallas Cowboys", 90)
-
-You can also pass additional parameters to ``extractOne`` method to make it use a specific scorer. A typical use case is to match file paths:
-
-.. code:: python
-  
-    >>> process.extractOne("System of a down - Hypnotize - Heroin", songs)
-        ('/music/library/good/System of a Down/2005 - Hypnotize/01 - Attack.mp3', 86)
-    >>> process.extractOne("System of a down - Hypnotize - Heroin", songs, scorer=fuzz.token_sort_ratio)
-        ("/music/library/good/System of a Down/2005 - Hypnotize/10 - She's Like Heroin.mp3", 61)
