Fuzzy Wuzzy how to get my fuzzyratio displayed

[deanhystad]

Please post the entire error message, including the traceback. My guess is that one of the columns contains floats.

This works:

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "A": "This is a test".split(), "B": "That was a test".split()
})
df["Ratio"] = df.apply(lambda x: fuzz.ratio(x.A, x.B), axis=1)
print(df)

Output:
      A     B  Ratio
0  This  That     50
1    is   was     40
2     a     a    100
3  test  test    100

This fails and gives me the error you are seeing.

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "A": "This is a test".split(), "B": [1.0, 2, 3, 4]
})
df["Ratio"] = df.apply(lambda x: fuzz.ratio(x.A, x.B), axis=1)
print(df)

Error:
TypeError: object of type 'float' has no len()
