Faker

Faker is a Python package and command-line tool for generating fake data for testing, database bootstrapping, user simulation, stress testing, XML generation, and production-data anonymization. Its generator exposes provider-based methods such as name, address, text, Internet values, identities, passwords, URLs, hashes, and binary data; each call produces a generated result, and providers can be added or localized by locale. The package also supplies a pytest fixture for use in tests and supports Python 3.8 and above.
