pyjarowinkler is a Python library that calculates the Jaro-Winkler Distance, a measure of similarity between two strings. It's useful for tasks like spell-checking, record linkage, and data deduplication. The current version is 3.0.0, and it has a reasonably active release cadence.
pip install pyjarowinklerVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This example demonstrates how to import and use the `jaro_winkler_distance` function to calculate the similarity between two strings. The score ranges from 0 (no similarity) to 1 (exact match).
Update calls from `get_jaro_distance(s1, s2)` to `jaro_winkler_distance(s1, s2)`.
Ensure your environment is running Python 3.10 or newer. For older Python versions, use `pyjarowinkler<3.0.0` (e.g., `pip install 'pyjarowinkler<3.0.0'`).
Always use `from jarowinkler import ...` for imports, not `from pyjarowinkler import ...`.
