Request to return score matrix and/or optimal string alignment

Open zdk123 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Thanks for the efficiently implemented package!

I'm wondering for the alignment-based methods, would it be possible to return the scoring matrix or some other data structure representing the optimal alignment(s) of strings? I'd like to reuse the information downstream and you're already doing the calculation but discarding it for only the optimal scoring distance.
