get ideas from http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ about faker

Like a fake.identity() that returns a Profile object with all those fields (generated using existing functions)?

Can i work on it?

Perhaps fake.profile() with optional args for extra fields? Good site btw.

@joseph-norman i think it would be more useful and intuitive to generate all fields by the default and have an optional list of field names to limit the generation to those fields only.

The generated output could be a dictionary IMO. I think we can generate all the fields, after all this generation is not a time consuming process. If someone needs less fields, (s)he can select them from the dictionary.

Please leave the possibility open for improvements. Keep in my mind that not everyone is from the US. Gender, name set and country should be optional parameters:

def profile(gender='random', name_set='American', country='US'):
    # just an example but you get the idea

That is, if I want to generate non-US data, I should be able to do that. For the moment we can do it with US data, but leave the door open for future improvements.

@jabbalaci look at the first commit i did. Anyway i forgot about the locale, you're right. I will try to design a consistent API and keep it intuitive for both US and non-US users.
