Description: *Faker* is a Python package that generates fake data for you. Whether
        you need to bootstrap your database, create good-looking XML documents,
        fill-in your persistence to stress test it, or anonymize data taken from
        a production service, Faker is for you.
        
        Faker is heavily inspired by `PHP Faker`_, `Perl Faker`_, and by `Ruby Faker`_.

        Basic Usage
        -----------
        
        Install with pip:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install Faker
        
        *Note: this package was previously called* ``fake-factory``.
        
        Use ``faker.Faker()`` to create and initialize a faker
        generator, which can generate data by accessing properties named after
        the type of data you want.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker()
        
            fake.name()
            # 'Lucy Cechtelar'
        
            fake.address()
            # "426 Jordy Lodge
            #  Cartwrightshire, SC 88120-6700"
        
            fake.text()
            # Sint velit eveniet. Rerum atque repellat voluptatem quia rerum. Numquam excepturi
            # beatae sint laudantium consequatur. Magni occaecati itaque sint et sit tempore. Nesciunt
            # amet quidem. Iusto deleniti cum autem ad quia aperiam.
            # A consectetur quos aliquam. In iste aliquid et aut similique suscipit. Consequatur qui
            # quaerat iste minus hic expedita. Consequuntur error magni et laboriosam. Aut aspernatur
            # voluptatem sit aliquam. Dolores voluptatum est.
            # Aut molestias et maxime. Fugit autem facilis quos vero. Eius quibusdam possimus est.
            # Ea quaerat et quisquam. Deleniti sunt quam. Adipisci consequatur id in occaecati.
            # Et sint et. Ut ducimus quod nemo ab voluptatum.
        
        Each call to method ``fake.name()`` yields a different (random) result.
        This is because faker forwards ``faker.Generator.method_name()`` calls
        to ``faker.Generator.format(method_name)``.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            for _ in range(10):
              print(fake.name())
        
            # Adaline Reichel
            # Dr. Santa Prosacco DVM
            # Noemy Vandervort V
            # Lexi O'Conner
            # Gracie Weber
            # Roscoe Johns
            # Emmett Lebsack
            # Keegan Thiel
            # Wellington Koelpin II
            # Ms. Karley Kiehn V
        
        Providers
        ---------
        
        Each of the generator properties (like ``name``, ``address``, and
        ``lorem``) are called "fake". A faker generator has many of them,
        packaged in "providers".
        
        Check the `extended docs`_ for a list of `bundled providers`_ and a list of
        `community providers`_.
        
        Localization
        ------------
        
        ``faker.Factory`` can take a locale as an argument, to return localized
        data. If no localized provider is found, the factory falls back to the
        default en\_US locale.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker('it_IT')
            for _ in range(10):
                print(fake.name())
        
            > Elda Palumbo
            > Pacifico Giordano
            > Sig. Avide Guerra
            > Yago Amato
            > Eustachio Messina
            > Dott. Violante Lombardo
            > Sig. Alighieri Monti
            > Costanzo Costa
            > Nazzareno Barbieri
            > Max Coppola
        
        You can check available Faker locales in the source code, under the
        providers package. The localization of Faker is an ongoing process, for
        which we need your help. Please don't hesitate to create a localized
        provider for your own locale and submit a Pull Request (PR).

        Command line usage
        ------------------
        
        When installed, you can invoke faker from the command-line:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            faker [-h] [--version] [-o output]
                  [-l {bg_BG,cs_CZ,...,zh_CN,zh_TW}]
                  [-r REPEAT] [-s SEP]
                  [-i {package.containing.custom_provider otherpkg.containing.custom_provider}]
                  [fake] [fake argument [fake argument ...]]
        
        Where:
        
        -  ``faker``: is the script when installed in your environment, in
           development you could use ``python -m faker`` instead
        
        -  ``-h``, ``--help``: shows a help message
        
        -  ``--version``: shows the program's version number
        
        -  ``-o FILENAME``: redirects the output to the specified filename
        
        -  ``-l {bg_BG,cs_CZ,...,zh_CN,zh_TW}``: allows use of a localized
           provider
        
        -  ``-r REPEAT``: will generate a specified number of outputs
        
        -  ``-s SEP``: will generate the specified separator after each
           generated output
        
        -  ``-i {my.custom_provider other.custom_provider}`` list of additional custom providers to use.
           Note that is the import path of the package containing your Provider class, not the custom Provider class itself.
        
        -  ``fake``: is the name of the fake to generate an output for, such as
           ``name``, ``address``, or ``text``
        
        -  ``[fake argument ...]``: optional arguments to pass to the fake (e.g. the profile fake takes an optional list of comma separated field names as the first argument)
        
        Examples:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            $ faker address
            968 Bahringer Garden Apt. 722
            Kristinaland, NJ 09890
        
            $ faker -l de_DE address
            Samira-Niemeier-Allee 56
            94812 Biedenkopf
        
            $ faker profile ssn,birthdate
            {'ssn': u'628-10-1085', 'birthdate': '2008-03-29'}
        
            $ faker -r=3 -s=";" name

        How to create a Provider
        ------------------------
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker()
        
            # first, import a similar Provider or use the default one
            from faker.providers import BaseProvider
        
            # create new provider class
            class MyProvider(BaseProvider):
                def foo(self):
                    return 'bar'
        
            # then add new provider to faker instance
            fake.add_provider(MyProvider)
        
            # now you can use:
            fake.foo()
            > 'bar'
        
        How to customize the Lorem Provider
        -----------------------------------
        
        You can provide your own sets of words if you don't want to use the
        default lorem ipsum one. The following example shows how to do it with a list of words picked from `cakeipsum <http://www.cupcakeipsum.com/>`__ :
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker()
        
            my_word_list = [
            'danish','cheesecake','sugar',
            'Lollipop','wafer','Gummies',
            'sesame','Jelly','beans',
            'pie','bar','Ice','oat' ]
        
            fake.sentence()
            #'Expedita at beatae voluptatibus nulla omnis.'
        
            fake.sentence(ext_word_list=my_word_list)
            # 'Oat beans oat Lollipop bar cheesecake.'
        
        
        How to use with Factory Boy
        ---------------------------
        
        `Factory Boy` already ships with integration with ``Faker``. Simply use the
        ``factory.Faker`` method of ``factory_boy``:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import factory
            from myapp.models import Book
        
            class BookFactory(factory.Factory):
                class Meta:
                    model = Book
        
                title = factory.Faker('sentence', nb_words=4)
                author_name = factory.Faker('name')
        
        Accessing the `random` instance
        -------------------------------
        
        The ``.random`` property on the generator returns the instance of ``random.Random``
        used to generate the values:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker()
            fake.random
            fake.random.getstate()
        
        By default all generators share the same instance of ``random.Random``, which
        can be accessed with ``from faker.generator import random``. Using this may
        be useful for plugins that want to affect all faker instances.
        
        Seeding the Generator
        ---------------------
        
        When using Faker for unit testing, you will often want to generate the same
        data set. For convenience, the generator also provide a ``seed()`` method, which
        seeds the shared random number generator. Calling the same methods with the
        same version of faker and seed produces the same results.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker()
            fake.seed(4321)
        
            print(fake.name())
            > Margaret Boehm
        
        Each generator can also be switched to its own instance of ``random.Random``,
        separate to the shared one, by using the ``seed_instance()`` method, which acts
        the same way. For example:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from faker import Faker
            fake = Faker()
            fake.seed_instance(4321)
        
            print(fake.name())
            > Margaret Boehm
        
        Please note that as we keep updating datasets, results are not guaranteed to be
        consistent across patch versions. If you hardcode results in your test, make sure
        you pinned the version of ``Faker`` down to the patch number.
