Jaro-Winkler Distance in fuzzywuzzy #265

Open PhilippPro opened 4 years ago

PhilippPro commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to use the Jaro-Winkler distance with the fuzzywuzzy package? If not, is it easily extandable?

I want to find words that are similar to a specific word, e.g. missspellings and plural of words should be found, so it is important that there is more weight on the beginning of the word.
