Why don't you try it and see?
>>> from difflib import get_close_matches
>>> get_close_matches("appel", ["ape", "apple", "peach", "puppy"])
['apple', 'ape']
>>> import keyword as _keyword
>>> get_close_matches("wheel", _keyword.kwlist)
['while']
>>> get_close_matches("apple", _keyword.kwlist)
[]
>>> get_close_matches("accept", _keyword.kwlist)
['except']
Those example, by the way, come from here:
>>> help(get_close_matches)
