        **Easy fuzzy search that just works, fast!**
        
        .. code:: python
        
            >>> find_near_matches('PATTERN', '---PATERN---', max_l_dist=1)
            [Match(start=3, end=9, dist=1)]
        
        * Approximate sub-string searches
        
        * A single, simple function to use
        
          * Chooses the fastest available search mechanism based on the given input
        
        * Uses the Levenshtein Distance metric with configurable parameters
        
          * Separately configure the max. allowed distance, substitutions, deletions
            and insertions
        
        * Advanced algorithms with optional C and Cython optimizations
        
        * Extensively tested
        
        * Free software: `MIT license <LICENSE>`_
        
        For more info, see the `documentation <http://fuzzysearch.rtfd.org>`_.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        .. code::
        
            $ pip install fuzzysearch
        
        This will work even if installing the C and Cython extensions fails, using
        pure-Python fallbacks.
        
        Usage
        -----
        Just call ``find_near_matches()`` with the sub-sequence you're looking for,
        the sequence to search, and the matching parameters:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            >>> from fuzzysearch import find_near_matches
            # search for 'PATTERN' with a maximum Levenshtein Distance of 1
            >>> find_near_matches('PATTERN', '---PATERN---', max_l_dist=1)
            [Match(start=3, end=9, dist=1)]
        
        .. code:: python
        
            >>> sequence = '''\
            GACTAGCACTGTAGGGATAACAATTTCACACAGGTGGACAATTACATTGAAAATCACAGATTGGTCACACACACA
            TTGGACATACATAGAAACACACACACATACATTAGATACGAACATAGAAACACACATTAGACGCGTACATAGACA
            CAAACACATTGACAGGCAGTTCAGATGATGACGCCCGACTGATACTCGCGTAGTCGTGGGAGGCAAGGCACACAG
            GGGATAGG'''
            >>> subsequence = 'TGCACTGTAGGGATAACAAT' # distance = 1
            >>> find_near_matches(subsequence, sequence, max_l_dist=2)
            [Match(start=3, end=24, dist=1)]
        
        Matching Criteria
        -----------------
        The search function supports four possible match criteria, which may be
        supplied in any combination:
        
        * maximum Levenshtein distance (*max_l_dist*)
        
        * maximum # of subsitutions
        
        * maximum # of deletions ("delete" = skip a character in the sub-sequence)
        
        * maximum # of insertions ("insert" = skip a character in the sequence)
        
        Not supplying a criterion means that there is no limit for it. For this reason,
        one must always supply *max_l_dist* and/or all other criteria.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            >>> find_near_matches('PATTERN', '---PATERN---', max_l_dist=1)
            [Match(start=3, end=9, dist=1)]
            
            # this will not match since max-deletions is set to zero
            >>> find_near_matches('PATTERN', '---PATERN---', max_l_dist=1, max_deletions=0)
            []
            
            # note that a deletion + insertion may be combined to match a substution
            >>> find_near_matches('PATTERN', '---PAT-ERN---', max_deletions=1, max_insertions=1, max_substitutions=0)
            [Match(start=3, end=10, dist=1)] # the Levenshtein distance is still 1
        
            # ... but deletion + insertion may also match other, non-substitution differences
            >>> find_near_matches('PATTERN', '---PATERRN---', max_deletions=1, max_insertions=1, max_substitutions=0)
            [Match(start=3, end=10, dist=2)]

        * Added support for lists, tuples and other Sequence types to ``search_exact()``
        * Fixed a bug where ``find_near_matches()`` could return a wrong ``Match.end``
          with ``max_l_dist=0``
