fuzzywuzzy search string in text file

Sorry, I was editing my response. See above.

You cannot use the process.extractOne() return value as a True/False. extractOne returns a tuple (match, score) and the only tuple that evaluates to False is an emtpy tuple (,). Even if every choice results in a matching score of 0, extractOne will return a tuple containing the best match and the score.

Proof that only an empty tuple is False.

def evaluate(thing):
    if thing:
        print(f'{thing} is True')
    else:
        print(f'{thing} is False')

evaluate((False, False))
evaluate((False,))
evaluate(tuple())

Output:
(False, False) is True
(False,) is True
() is False
