FuzzyWuzzy is GPLv2 licensed which would force you to licence the whole project under GPLv2. For this reason this Pullrequest replaces FuzzyWuzzy with rapidfuzz which is implementing the same algorithm but is based on an old version of fuzzywuzzy that was MIT Licensed. Rapidfuzz is:

Mit licensed so it can be used with the license used by this project
Is faster than FuzzyWuzzy

Thank you @maxbachmann I will merge and re-release as v0.0.4 and thanks for working with the open license version of fuzzy-wuzzy in the rapidfuzz implementation.
