Add support for Smith Waterman algorithm #175
Comments
Hi, will this algorithm be added recently? |
I am not sure yet. I think I could add a simple implementation in the close future. When matching long sequences you would probably want to use a more optimized implementation like: https://github.com/jeffdaily/parasail (has python bindings) |
Got it, thanks for the great work! |
After looking at the paraseil python bindings I found them way to hard to use. E.g.
Is not really acceptable in my opinion. So I decided to add at least a simple implementation for people who just want to have a properly working implementation. |
The Smith Waterman algorithm is a commonly used metric to compare strings. It would be useful to add it to RapidFuzz.
