Solution 1

You won't have to generate the docs yourself. There's an online copy of the original Python Levenshtein API: http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/courses/LT1/2011/slides/Python-Levenshtein.html

Here is an example:

# install with: pip install python-Levenshtein

from Levenshtein import distance
edit_dist = distance("ah", "aho")

To get a generated documentation. This was updated 3 months back.

download it from that google repo

extract it

double click on gendoc.sh

you should now see a levenstein.html which is the documentation

I've found a great python library implementing Levenshtein functions (distance, ratio, etc.) at http://code.google.com/p/pylevenshtein/ but the project seems inactive and the documentation is nowhere to be found. I was wondering if anyone knows better than me and can point me to the documentation.

  It looks like the author even included a gendoc.sh that would generate documentation.txt from a website for you, but that website is now done. I assume the official documentation no longer exists where the author means it to.

  @sihrc, that URL refers to a tool used to generate the documentation. It's not available at that URL anymore but you can still find it elsewhere.

The official documentation now links here: rawgit.com/ztane/python-Levenshtein/master/docs/…

They should add these 2 lines on their PyPI page, it's worth a thousand words.
