String distances about scipy-cluster

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Uri,

I do want to include a number of edit distances but alas I'm trying to get a 
paper
out. However, I'd be willing to offer you some pointers. How good is your 
Python?
Have you considered writing in Cython?

Cython is a new, well-maintained project that has gained extraordinary momentum
within the past year. It is a major, well-documented improvement of the Pyrex
project, which is now obsolete. Cython is a Python dialect that gets translated 
into
C. Your Python functions can call Cython code very easily.

Do you know how big the alphabet tends to be for most problems using the 
Levenshtein
distance?

Btw, you can try e-mailing me at my e-mail address, first DOT last AT gmail DOT 
com.
I check this site much less often.

I will read the paper you referenced over the weekend.

Cheers,

Damian
