faker2 40.29.0.post8

faker2 — pure-Rust fake-data generator with a thin Python binder (PyO3).

faker2 (pure Rust + Python binder)

The faker2 PyPI package as a pure-Rust engine with a thin Python binder (PyO3). import faker2 loads the compiled Rust core (faker2._native); no fake-data logic runs in Python.

from faker2 import Faker, homophones, detect_country, infer_gender_real

f = Faker(42)                              # seedable, deterministic
f.name(); f.email(); f.address()
f.first_name_like_real("Jacques", "FR")    # gender-preserving, weighted
f.first_name_real("JP", "f")               # frequency-weighted

infer_gender_real("Mohammed", "EG")        # "m"
detect_country("Yuki", 3)                  # [("JP", 0.58), ...]
homophones("Dominique", "FR", "balanced")  # [("Dominique", 0.95), ...]

Build

cd native
maturin build --release        # abi3 wheel (bundles the dataset)
pip install dist/*.whl

Scope

The Rust core (../rust) currently implements the engine + en_US providers + the 139-country name intelligence. More locales are ported into the Rust core over time; see the repo README.md and PARITY.md.
