PyFake

Pyfake is a synthetic data generator for use in Unit testing or other places where you need to use fake data for some purpose.

Usage

from pyfake import Person

person = Person()

print(person.name)        # Joe Bloggs
print(person.email)       # [email protected]

from pyfake import TcpIp

print(TcpIp().ipv6)       # ca39:a408:5736:769:a0b5:c5a5:393e:d2b

Object generator list

• Adjective
• Book
• Company
• Country
• Person
• Sports
• TCP/IP (ip addresses, port ranges etc)

more generators are being added, check back for more details or request a generator via GH issues

pyfake's Issues

create a country generator

with:

• name
• continent
• area
• population
• capital_city
• currency
• languages

Should the generator names be changed?

Seems like having class names like Person and Book could cause a lot of clashes in projects.

Rename them to FakePerson? Add instructions to use from pyfake.person import Person as FakePerson?

Add GitHub Actions

Create generator for IPv4 / IPv6

add a sports generator

things like name, number of players, equipment used

add an animals generator

name, number of legs, max_weight etc
