NameError: name 'ratio' is not defined

While running the Fuzzy Wuzzy process.extract() method the following error is thrown :-

I found that pinning the python-Levenshtein version to 0.12.2 solve the issue.

This should be the same issue as https://github.com/seatgeek/thefuzz/issues/35 and should be fixed by uninstalling python-Levenshtein/Levenshtein and installing it again.

This worked for me too. Uninstalling and reinstalling python-Levenshtein didn't solve the issue on my system.

[maxbachmann]

This should be solved by running

pip uninstall Levenshtein python-Levenshtein
pip install python-Levenshtein

since this is a bug in pip in regards to updating. So it would be interesting to know, why this still fails for you even after performing these steps.
