Yes, you found a bug that the maintainer has not dealt with or documented.

The installer is NOT currently compatible with windows.

https://pypi.org/project/match/

Here's what I got-- see below.

(test) PS C:\env> pip install match
Collecting match

Good news, you can go to the Github site and download and manually install "match".

https://github.com/EducationalTestingService/match

Find the GREEN BUTTON labeled Clone or Download and download the ZIP file
Extract the ZIP file and make a note of its location.
Navigate into the unzipped files and find the subdirectory labeled "match" and copy the entire folder
Paste the folder into c:\python3\Lib\site-packages
make sure you have NLTK installed with pip

pip install nltk

Finally, run Python and see if it is working

(test) PS C:\env> python
Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul  8 2019, 20:34:20) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import match
>>> original_text = "I   am writing a letter !  Sometimes,I forget to put spaces (and do weird stuff with punctuation)  ?  J'aurai une pomme, s'il vous plâit !"
>>> original_text
"I   am writing a letter !  Sometimes,I forget to put spaces (and do weird stuff with punctuation)  ?  J'aurai une pomme, s'il vous plâit !"
>>> match.match(original_text, ['-LRB-', 'and', 'do', 'weird', 'stuff', 'with', 'punctuation', '-RRB-'])
[(60, 97, '(and do weird stuff with punctuation)')]
>>>
