how create function returns similar word list of words, if word not same? the function should have 2 inputs: 1 word , other list. function should return word similar word. lst = ['apple','app','banana store','pear','beer'] func('apple inc.',lst) >>'apple' func('banana',lst) >>'banana store' from doing research, seems have use concepts of fuzzy string matching, nltk, , levenshtein-distance, i'm having hard time trying implement in creating function this. i should point out similar, mean characters , i'm not concerned meaning of word @ all. slow solution debugging: def func(word, lst): items = sorted((dist(word, w), w) w in lst) # print items here debugging. if not items: raise valueerror('list of words empty.') return items[0][1] or, faster , uses less memory: def func(word, lst): return min((dist(word, w), w) w in lst)[1] see https://stackover...
