use rapidfuzz instead of fuzzywuzzy #36

FuzzyWuzzy is GPLv2 licensed which would force you to licence the whole project under GPLv2. I had the same problem on one of my projects and so I wrote rapidfuzz which is implementing the same algorithm but is based on a version of fuzzywuzzy that was MIT Licensed and is therefor MIT Licensed aswell, so it can be used in here without forcing a License change. As a nice bonus it is fully implemented in C++ and comes with a few Algorithmic improvements making it between 5 and 100 times faster than FuzzyWuzzy.

requires to use a current python version since most of the versions this project uses right now are already end of life
