Hello @cshenry !

Some of my package edits have blurred with Filipe's edits, however, all of these edits would eventually enter your fork anyway when you pull the main repository. Here are essence of my edits:

1. unused imports are flagged
   

2. variable definitions are consolidated
   

3. continue catches are replaced with a compound any conditional
   

4. the core logical block was arranged as the first conditional block to facilitate combining the two noncore blocks
   

5. a formatted string replaced concatenating strings
   

6. min(), with an initial inf, was leveraged to determine the minimal gapfilåling score
   

7. items() is leveraged for greater efficiency when parsing a dictionary
   

8. PEP-8 parameter spacing is implemented
   

Thank you so much :)

Andrew
