Import fuzzydict

I have an issue after importing fuzzydict using Library Manager. Can anyone reproduce this issue?

I imported fuzzydict successfully but the fuzzy attributes appear to be missing. Below is an example where I try to access fuzzy_value, fuzzy_key, and fuzzy_item. The error message is 'Attribute Error: 'dict object has no attribute ‘fuzzy_values’ ’

# fuzzy lookup does not work
from fuzzydict import FuzzyDict

test_dict = FuzzyDict(0.5)
test_dict = {'Some Key': 'Value1', 'Another Key': 'Value2'}
# [key for key in test_dict.fuzzy_keys('Key')]
# [value for value in test_dict.fuzzy_values('Key')]
[(k,v) for (k,v) in test_dict.fuzzy_items('Key')]

Hello!

It seems that this particular code doesn’t work because you redefine test_dict with a normal dict. Correct version would be something like

test_dict = FuzzyDict(0.5)
test_dict['Some Key'] = 'Value1'
test_dict['Another Key'] = 'Value2'

But this code doesn’t work in Datalore either, because the fuzzydict library doesn’t seem to support python 3, and Datalore works with python 3.6.3.

Thanks for the pointer on Python 3.6. That makes sense. I will use another approach for fuzzy search against a dictionary.
