We can try but I must start with the caveat hat this list is for
folks learning Python language and its standard library. For
questions about 3rd party libraries - like pymatch - you are
usually better off asking on their support fora or by contacting
the author.

I note that pymatch has a web site and the author is on Facebook,
so you might be able to contact him in that way.

That having been said, we can try to help.

Some code might help?
And any error messages would definitely help, although it sounds
like that's not really the issue here.

Alternatively some input/output data samples would be helpful - the
minimal amount needed to show the issue.

Bear in mind that we are not experts in your domain. Our expertise
is in programming with python. so you need to explain your data
and what should/should not be matched and why that is so.

But without code/data we can only make wild stabs at what might be wrong.

Maybe sharing that would help too?
