How to use the fuzzywuzzy.utils.make_type_consistent function in fuzzywuzzy

def ratio(s1, s2):
    s1, s2 = utils.make_type_consistent(s1, s2)

    m = SequenceMatcher(None, s1, s2)
    return utils.intr(100 * m.ratio())

def partial_ratio(s1, s2):
    """"Return the ratio of the most similar substring
    as a number between 0 and 100."""
    s1, s2 = utils.make_type_consistent(s1, s2)

    if len(s1) <= len(s2):
        shorter = s1
        longer = s2
    else:
        shorter = s2
        longer = s1

    m = SequenceMatcher(None, shorter, longer)
    blocks = m.get_matching_blocks()

    # each block represents a sequence of matching characters in a string
    # of the form (idx_1, idx_2, len)
    # the best partial match will block align with at least one of those blocks
    #   e.g. shorter = "abcd", longer = XXXbcdeEEE
    #   block = (1,3,3)
