Token-based string distances looks like exactly what I need for my current side project - I'm using Levenshtein but I should be comparing based on words, not characters.
I just need to figure out which (if any) of these does what I need.
Edit: looks like the Python version has that information: https://github.com/life4/textdistance?tab=readme-ov-file#algorithms
In Python version, pass the list of words directly into the algorithm, and it will compare words. In Rust version, use Algorithm.for_words:
