Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a fast and easier to use Python library for generating dummy data. These data are very useful when you need to bootstrap the database in the testing phase of your software. A great example of how you can use the library are web applications on Flask or Django which need a data, such as users (email, username, name, surname etc.), posts (tags, text, title, publishing date and etc.) and so forth. The library uses the JSON files as a datastore and doesn’t have any dependencies. The library offers more than 18 different data providers (from personal ones to transport and more).

Documentation

Elizabeth is a pretty simple library and all you need to start is the small documentation. See Elizabeth's Sphinx-generated documentation here: http://elizabeth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

How to work with datetime:

from elizabeth import Datetime

dt = Datetime('no') # Norwegian

for _ in range(0, 10):
    print(dt.birthday())

When you use only one locale you can use the Generic , that provides all providers at one class.

from elizabeth import Generic

g = Generic('ru')

for _ in range(0, 5):
    name = g.personal.full_name()
    birthday = g.datetime.birthday(readable=True)
    print(name, '-', birthday)

Output:

Гера Исакова - Май 31, 1981
Лидия Воронцова - Апрель 11, 1990
Пелагея Исаева - Август 7, 1983
