Russell Ballestrini added the comment:
New function in difflib: get_scored_matches()
This function acts just like the existing get_close_matches()
function however instead of returning a list of words, it
returns a list of tuples (score, word) pairs.
This gives the end-user the ability to access the
computationally expensive scores/ratios produced as a by-product.
The new usage does _not_ impact backward compatibility::
>>> import difflib
>>> import keyword as _keyword
>>> difflib.get_scored_matches("wheel", _keyword.kwlist)
[(0.6, 'while')]
>>> difflib.get_close_matches("wheel", _keyword.kwlist)
['while']
