AttributeError: module 'fuzzywuzzy' has no attribute 'ratio'

Question

I am trying to call ratio() function from the library fuzzywuzzy to match two string and get the following error message:

AttributeError: module 'fuzzywuzzy' has no attribute 'ratio'

Has the version changed? I tried to look for other functions within fuzz to see if it exists, but I am unable to find it.

import fuzzywuzzy as fuzz
from fuzzywuzzy import process
import Levenshtein
fuzz.ratio('Lord of the Rings', 'The Lord of the Rings')

Answer 1

ratio is a method of fuzzywuzzy.fuzz. Use:

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz

Then you can use:

fuzz.ratio('Lord of the Rings', 'The Lord of the Rings')

Answer 2

Change import to:

from fuzzywuzzy as fuzz
from fuzzywuzzy import process
