Is this behavior intended? If so - why?

When I do: matches = find_near_matches('AAAA', 'ZZZZ', max_l_dist=4)

There are no matches, despite the fact that AAAA can become ZZZZ with 4 substitutions. Am I misinterpreting something here?

That looks like a bug! I'll check it out.

Fixed in commit a8219a04, released in v0.6.2.

Thanks for reporting this, @Ericxgao!
