I currently cannot install fuzzywuzzy but fuzzy matching is quite vital to a data project I’m working on as the dataset contains thousands of points and needs to be grouped computationally. I’m fairly new to VS Code so perhaps that is why but used the terminal like normal as follows.
So I have tried:
Conda install fuzzywuzzy
but it outputs
Channels:
- defaults
Platform: osx-64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: - warning libmamba Added empty dependency for problem type SOLVER_RULE_UPDATE
failed
LibMambaUnsatisfiableError: Encountered problems while solving:
- package fuzzywuzzy-0.18.0-py310hecd8cb5_0 requires python >=3.10,<3.11.0a0, but none of the providers can be installed
Could not solve for environment specs
The following packages are incompatible
├─ fuzzywuzzy is installable with the potential options
│ ├─ fuzzywuzzy 0.18.0 would require
│ │ └─ python >=3.10,<3.11.0a0 , which can be installed;
│ ├─ fuzzywuzzy 0.18.0 would require
│ │ └─ python >=3.11,<3.12.0a0 , which can be installed;
│ ├─ fuzzywuzzy 0.18.0 would require
│ │ └─ python >=3.7,<3.8.0a0 , which can be installed;
│ ├─ fuzzywuzzy 0.18.0 would require
│ │ └─ python >=3.8,<3.9.0a0 , which can be installed;
│ └─ fuzzywuzzy 0.18.0 would require
│ └─ python >=3.9,<3.10.0a0 , which can be installed;
└─ pin-1 is not installable because it requires
└─ python 3.12.* , which conflicts with any installable versions previously reported.
I’m somewhat at a loss. I’m using Python 3.12.4 as of right now. Any ideas about how I can get this working would be greatly appreciated.

conda install –channel=conda-forge fuzzywuzzy
As noted on GitHub and in the tag description above,
fuzzywuzzy
has been renamed tothefuzz
.That explains why
