# Levenshtein
## Introduction
The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast
computation of:
* Levenshtein (edit) distance, and edit operations
* string similarity
* approximate median strings, and generally string averaging
* string sequence and set similarity
## Requirements
* Python 3.8 or later
## Installation
```bash
pip install levenshtein
```
## Documentation
The documentation for the current version can be found at [https://rapidfuzz.github.io/Levenshtein/](https://rapidfuzz.github.io/Levenshtein/)
