how to get error(edit distance) between the matched result and raw string?

Line 144 and Line 146 must be swapped.

Line 158 should be """Uses find_all_matches to find all words within levenshtein distance k of word.

Sorry for the stupid question, but from where can I get the dictionary file?

Ho fatto un test, scrivo poco in inglese, eccolo qui: https://gist.github.com/Romanzo/2cd7b5cc382f5f419670

I would like to use this code in a project. Would you mind adding adding an MIT license, or otherwise giving me permission to do so?

on line 163: lookup_func: A single argument function that returns the first word in the database that is greater than or equal to the input argument.

isn't it less than or equal to the input argument ??

you were using bisect_left in the Matcher, which get you something lesser

Sorry for the stupid question, but from where can I get the dictionary file?

this worked for me:
https://github.com/dwyl/english-words/blob/master/words_alpha.txt

you'll have to update lines 26 and 30 of automata_test.py (to 21 and 388)
