Hey! Awesome module! It is exactly what I need. I only have one problem. Do I understand it right, that it works only with ascii-code? I tried special characters and they lead into an error...

That's correct. weighted-levenshtein only support ASCII unfortunately. A PR to add UTF-8 support would be welcome though!

Mapping with chr seems to work:

mapping = {s:chr(i+1) for i,s in enumerate(symbols)}

\x00 causes trouble, hence the +1
