76740130Released 1y ago100% Free**Name Matching App** ===================== This Python script is designed to match names based on their similarity. It uses the `fuzzywuzzy` library, which provides a simple way to perform fuzzy string matching. **Installation** ------------ To use this script, you need to install the `fuzzywuzzy` library. You can do this by running the following command: ``` pip install fuzzywuzzy ``` **Script** --------- ```python from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz from fuzzywuzzy import process class NameMatchingApp: def __init__(self): self.names = [] # List to store names def add_name(self, name): """ Add a name to the list. Args: name (str): The name to be added """ self.names.append(name) def match_name(self, target_name, threshold=60): """ Match a target name with the names in the list. Args: target_name (str): The target name to be matched threshold (int): The minimum score required for a match (default=60) Returns: list: A list of matching names with their respective scores """ matching_names = [] for name in self.names: score = fuzz.ratio(target_name, name) if score >= threshold: matching_names.append((name, score)) return matching_names # Example usage app = NameMatchingApp() app.add_name("John Smith") app.add_name("Jane Doe") app.add_name("Joe Schmoe") target_name = "Jon Smith" matches = app.match_name(target_name) print("Matching names for", target_name) for name, score in matches: print(f"{name}: {score}") ``` **Explanation** -------------- This script defines a `NameMatchingApp` class that allows you to add names to a list and then match a target name with the names in the list. The `match_name` method uses the `fuzz.ratio` function from `fuzzywuzzy` to calculate the similarity score between the target name and each name in the list. If the score is greater than or equal to the specified threshold, the name is considered a match. In the example usage, we create an instance of the `NameMatchingApp` class, add some names to the list, and then match a target name with the names in the list. The matching names and their respective scores are printed to the console. **Customization** -------------- You can customize this script to suit your specific needs. For example, you can adjust the threshold value in the `match_name` method to change the sensitivity of the matching algorithm. You can also add more advanced features, such as handling multiple words or phrases in the target name, or using more advanced fuzzy matching algorithms. I hope this helps!
