Faker is a Python package that generates fake data for you
I love faker! It pisses me off a bit that the library is named faker but the package is fake-factory. It trips me up all the time.I use it with factory_boy (http://factoryboy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) to generate test fixtures that seem to make logical sense. Usernames are real names, birthdays are real dates, etc.I think it helps with experimentation when you're using the REPL and also makes bugs stand out a bit more easily. Very neat for demoing purposes too.Perhaps my favourite is faker.bs() which always gets a giggle when doing live demos.
