Use soundex to match playername

I got a question about soundex and how to use it to get the best match for a playername. I know some other languages like java or php very well, but i am pretty new to python. With B3 it is my first touch with python so i am stumbling sometimes around getting everything to work like I want it to.

I developed a plugin which is tracking some player specific actions. Users enter a command (!track <playername>) and the plugin does its job. Everything is working well so far. Now I experienced that users are not always able to type the playername correctly. The result is that the track command doesn't trigger. How can I use "import soundex" in that way that i get the best match in the playerslist for the playername entered with the user command?

Maybe someone can give me an example of how to solve that?

Thanks in advance...
