Basic use

One time use

import lipsum

lipsum(mode, amount, start)

modes:

• words - generate x words

amount: How much is generated

Repeated use

import lipsum


Lipsum = lipsum.LipsumGen()

Lipsum.amount(x)
Lipsum.start(True)

Lipsum.words()
Lipsum.bytes()

1. First we create a grabber object LipsumGen
2. Then we set the amount to be generated using LipsumGen.amount
3. Set LipsumGen object to start with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
4. Now we can generate Lorem Ipsum using the various functions inside our LipsumGen object. See below for various functions:

• LipsumGen.words()
• LipsumGen.paras()
• LipsumGen.bytes()
• LipsumGen.lists()

Note: you can set the amount when calling these functions LipsumGen.words(100)

Examples

Generate 100 characters of text:

import lipsum

lipsum.byte(100)

Generate 3 paragraphs the first of which starts with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet":

import lipsum

lipsum.paras(100, True)

Generate 10 sets of Loren Ipsum of Increasing size

import lipsum

Lipsum = lipsum.LipsumGen()
Lipsum.amount = 500

output = []

for i in range(10):
    Lipsum.amount *= 2
    output.append(Lipsum.bytes())
