Very useful thanks! Would love to see that merged in the official repo so that I don't have to use a fork!

Indeed useful! Can we have this merged? Seems like an easy drop-in replacement.
editdistance is not maintained anymore and it blocks support for Python 3.13.

@Belval - Do you have any concerns with this approach? Would love to see this merged to get off of Python 3.12
