extrarandom 1.0.4

More random utils

extrarandom

A library that provides extra utilities builtin on the builtin library random.

Installation

pip install extrarandom

Methods

Random booleans

some_bool = randbool()
three_bools = randbools(3)

Random characters

letter = randletter()
uppercase = randuppercase()
lowercase = randlowercase()

Random hex

nine = hex(9)
twenty = hex(20)
sth_between_9_and_20 = randhex(nine, twenty) # returns a string just like hex()

Random string manipulation

mystring = "abcdef"
modified_string = strinsert(mystring, "HELLO")
# some possible outcomes:
# "abHELLOcdef", "HELLOabcdef", "abcdefHELLO", etc

# if you don't want the substring to be inserted at the start/end:
modified_string2 = strinsertin(mystring, "HELLO")
# impossible outcomes:
# "HELLOabcdef", "abcdefHELLO"

Random list manipulation

mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4]
listinsert(mylist, -999)
# some possible outcomes:
# [-999, 1, 2, 3, 4] [1, 2, -999, 3, 4] [1, 2, 3, 4, -999]

# listinsertin is similar to strinsertin

Random permutation/combination

perm = permutation(iterable)
comb = permutation(iterable)

Range objects

some_range_between_6_and_9 = subrange(range(6, 9))
# possible values:
# range(6, 7), range(6, 9), range(8, 9) etc.
# start will not be equal to stop

Random iteration

mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
for i in randiter(mylist, total=8):
    print(i)
# print 8 random elements from mylist

Not so useful stuff (yet)

Infinite iterators

for b in randboolstream():
    print(b)
# infinite random boolean stream lol

Random attribute manipulation (not too useful tho)

getrandattr(obj)
setrandattr(obj, value)
delrandattr(obj)
