😳A selection of Python libraries for random generation of test data
Many people love Python for its convenience in data processing. But sometimes it happens that it is necessary to write and test an algorithm on a certain topic, but there is little or no data on this topic in the public domain. For such purposes, there are libraries with which you can generate fake data with the desired types.
Faker is a library for generating various types of random information. It also has an intuitive API. There are also implementations for languages such as PHP, Perl, and Ruby.
Mimesis is a Python library that helps generate data for various purposes. The library is written using the tools included in the Python standard library, so it does not have any third-party dependencies.
Radar - Library for generating random dates and times
Fake2db - a library that allows you to generate data directly in the database (there are also engines for different DBMS).
