SoftTFIDF get_raw_score failing with float division by zero #62

I'm getting an exception while calling the get_raw_score function with the SoftTFIDF similarity measure. It only happens with a specific corpus, which I'm unfortunately unable to share, so the code snipped isnt' fully reproducible.

import py_stringmatching as sm
print(sm.__version__)
soft_tfidf =sm.SoftTfIdf(corpus, threshold=0.9)
soft_tfidf.get_raw_score(['AWN', 'AL'], ['ONEP'])
0.4.1

ZeroDivisionError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

      2 print(sm.__version__)
      3 soft_tfidf =sm.SoftTfIdf(corpus, threshold=0.9)
----> 4 soft_tfidf.get_raw_score(['AWN', 'AL'], ['ONEP'])

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\py_stringmatching\similarity_measure\soft_tfidf.py in get_raw_score(self, bag1, bag2)
    134             v_y = idf * tf_y.get(element, 0)
    135             v_y_2 += v_y * v_y
--> 136         return result if v_x_2 == 0 else result / (sqrt(v_x_2) * sqrt(v_y_2))
    137 
    138     def get_corpus_list(self):

ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

I added a print right before line 136. The root cause is that v_y_2 is equal to zero.
