The current readme does not reflect many of the most recent changes. It would make sense to update it accordingly:

  • From the current readme it appears like rapidfuzz is a replacement for fuzzywuzzy. However rapidfuzz provides a growing number of features which are not supported by fuzzywuzzy like
    • more string metrics (e.g. levenshtein/hamming/jaro/jaro winkler
    • cdist
    • multithreading
      This should both be visible in the Description and in the Usage section
  • The readme mentions installation from pip/conda/git. It would probably be enough to mention the installation via pip, since it is the most used version. For other versions the documentation could be referenced: https://maxbachmann.github.io/RapidFuzz/installation.html
  • The usage section is relatively useless so far, since it only shows some arbitrary api calls without any explanation
  • The benchmark section does not show very useful results, since it only shows a comparision between rapidfuzz and fuzzywuzzy for some arbitrary string lengths. I am not sure yet how to make this more usefull. Detailed benchmarks of each function are already included in the documentation.
