Python code for Longest Common Subsequence

[Bolt]

I am looking for a Python code to find the longest common subsequence of two strings. I found a blog post that describes the problem and provides a solution in Java. I would like to implement the same solution in Python.

The blog post can be found here on longest common subsequence dynamic programming:

The Java code for the longest common subsequence problem is as follows:

python

def longestCommonSubsequence(X, Y):
    m = len(X)
    n = len(Y)
    dp = [[0 for i in range(n + 1)] for j in range(m + 1)]
    for i in range(m + 1):
        for j in range(n + 1):
            if i == 0 or j == 0:
                dp[i][j] = 0
            elif X[i - 1] == Y[j - 1]:
                dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
            else:
                dp[i][j] = max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1])
    return dp[m][n]

Can you help me with this?
