While Using Python fuzzymatch library i am facing the below issue :

from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz

Error:

C:\Users\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\fuzzywuzzy\fuzz.py:11: UserWarning: Using slow pure-python SequenceMatcher. Install python-Levenshtein to remove this warning
  warnings.warn('Using slow pure-python SequenceMatcher. Install python-Levenshtein to remove this warning')

While i am trying to install python-Levenshtein It gives the error:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
  ----------------------------------------

See Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat) especially the third answer by WISAM.

Your problem boils down to installing e.g. Visual Studio Community 2017 (maybe you have Visual Studio, but some older version).
