Mimesis - Fake Data Generator

Description

Travi CI AppVeyor CI Documentation Status Code Coverage Package version Python version

Mimesis is fast and extremely easy to use Python package, which helps generate big volumes of fake data for a variety of purposes in a variety of languages. The fake data can be particularly useful during software development and testing. For example, it could be used to populate a testing database, create beautiful JSON and XML files, anonymize data taken from a production service and etc.

Installation

To install mimesis, simply use pip:

[env] ~ ⟩ pip install mimesis

Getting started

This library is really easy to use and everything you need is just import an object which represents a type of data you need (we call such object Provider).

In example below we import provider Person, which represents data related to personal information, such as name, surname, email and etc:

>>> from mimesis import Person
>>> person = Person('en')

>>> person.full_name()
'Antonetta Garrison'

>>> person.occupation()
'Backend Developer'

>>> person.telephone()
'1-408-855-5063'

>>> person.identifier(mask='####/##-#')
'2714/48-4'

More about the other providers you can read in our documentation.

Locales

Mimesis currently includes support for 33 different locales. You can specify a locale when creating providers and they will return data that is appropriate for the language or country associated with that locale.

Let's take a look how it works:

>>> from mimesis import Person
>>> from mimesis.enums import Gender

>>> de = Person('de')
>>> pl = Person('pl')

>>> de.full_name(gender=Gender.FEMALE)
'Sabrina Gutermuth'

>>> pl.full_name(gender=Gender.MALE)
'Światosław Tomankiewicz'
