Currently the docs for `difflib.SequenceMatcher.quick_ratio()` just says 'Return an upper bound on ratio() relatively quickly', which doesn't give much of an idea about how that upper bound is calculated. `real_quick_ratio` has similarly brief documentation.
I'll raise a PR shortly to add a more verbose description to each of these ratios, so that it is clear when each should be used.
My current suggestions would be:
quick_ratio
Return an upper bound on ratio() relatively quickly. This is the highest possible ratio() given these letters, regardless of their order.
real_quick_ratio
Return an upper bound on ratio() very quickly. This is the highest possible ratio() given the lengths of a and b, regardless of their letters. i.e. 2*(min(len(a), len(b))/(len(a) + len(b)) |
