python highest fuzzy ratio to print line from list

Question

I have a list consisting of some lines.I want to print the line matching word 'good' with highest fuzzyratio.

Problem: Its only printing word instead of line in the list

Coding:

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
c = ['I am python', 'python is good', 'Everyone are humans']
print(max(c, key=lambda a: fuzz.ratio(a, 'good')))

Expected Output:

python is good

I get a single word instead of line of highest fuzzyvalue from the list. Please help to fix my code! Answers will be appreciated!

Can you also show how you populate `c`? – doctorlove Aug 16 '14 at 18:07 — doctorlove, Aug 16 '14 at 18:07

Your code seems ok, most likely your c array is initialized incorrectly and contains words instead of sentences. You code should be similar to this:

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz

c = ['I am python', 'python is good', 'Everyone are humans']
print(max(c, key=lambda a: fuzz.ratio(a, 'good')))

Of course, it works, probably the error is in the definition of `c` as I wrote. – enrico.bacis Aug 16 '14 at 18:38
"probably the error is in the definition of c" should be better in comments. – salmanwahed Aug 16 '14 at 18:39
Most likely the OP is not proficient in python, that's why I thought it was better to post the code than to pollute the comments with a long list of Q&A – enrico.bacis Aug 16 '14 at 18:40

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz

c = ['I am python', 'python is good', 'Everyone are humans']
l = [(i,fuzz.ratio(i,'good')) for i in c]
l.sort(key=lambda a: a[1], reverse=True)
