Installing fuzzy wuzzy - terrancepython11 - Mar-25-2017
When I look online, I've read that fuzzy wuzzy is included in the pip library, and that to install fuzzy wuzzy you simply write:
pip install fuzzywuzzybut whenever I try to do this in Python 3.6 IDLE, I get the error message:
SyntaxError: invalid syntaxand it highlights the word install.
Why can't I install Fuzzy Wuzzy?

It's not from IDLE,you run it from command line(cmd).

You're still running it in a Python shell. You need to run it from the operating system's command prompt.

Open the Command prompt and run: pip install fuzzywuzzy
Not the Python interpreter or IDLE.
Press win+r, type cmd, press Enter and you get it.

Great, thanks, got it. Now does anyone have any advice on how to write a fuzzy lookup string parser for excel and .csv files :)
