on line 163: lookup_func: A single argument function that returns the first word in the database that is greater than or equal to the input argument.

isn't it less than or equal to the input argument ??

you were using bisect_left in the Matcher, which get you something lesser

Sorry for the stupid question, but from where can I get the dictionary file?

this worked for me:
https://github.com/dwyl/english-words/blob/master/words_alpha.txt

you'll have to update lines 26 and 30 of automata_test.py (to 21 and 388)
