"""Levenshtein distance.
This is the standard edit distance measure. Cf.
:cite:`Levenshtein:1965,Levenshtein:1966`.
Optimal string alignment (aka restricted
Damerau-Levenshtein distance) :cite:`Boytsov:2011` is also supported.
The ordinary Levenshtein & Optimal String Alignment distance both
employ the Wagner-Fischer dynamic programming algorithm
:cite:`Wagner:1974`.
Levenshtein edit distance ordinarily has unit insertion, deletion, and
substitution costs.

Parameters
----------
mode : str
Specifies a mode for computing the Levenshtein distance:
- ``lev`` (default) computes the ordinary Levenshtein distance,
in which edits may include inserts, deletes, and
substitutions
- ``osa`` computes the Optimal String Alignment distance, in
which edits may include inserts, deletes, substitutions, and
transpositions but substrings may only be edited once
cost : tuple
A 4-tuple representing the cost of the four possible edits:
inserts, deletes, substitutions, and transpositions, respectively
(by default: (1, 1, 1, 1))
normalizer : function
A function that takes an list and computes a normalization term
by which the edit distance is divided (max by default). Another
good option is the sum function.
taper : bool
Enables cost tapering. Following :cite:`Zobel:1996`, it causes
edits at the start of the string to "just [exceed] twice the
minimum penalty for replacement or deletion at the end of the
string".
**kwargs
Arbitrary keyword arguments

The Levenshtein distance is normalized by dividing the Levenshtein

For the case in which all operations have :math:`cost = 1`, this is
equivalent to the greater of the length of the two strings src & tar.
