Fuzzy string matching in Python

Various methods for fuzzy matching of strings in Python, including:

  - String similarity: Gives a measure of string similarity between 0 and 100.
  - Partial string similarity: Inconsistent substrings are a common problem
    when string matching. To get around it, use a "best partial" heuristic
    when two strings are of noticeably different lengths.
  - Token sort: This approach involves tokenizing the string in question,
    sorting the tokens alphabetically, and then joining them back into a
    string.
  - Token set: A slightly more flexible approach. Tokenize both strings, but
    instead of immediately sorting and comparing, split the tokens into two
    groups: intersection and remainder.
