Random Recipes

Recipes to generate random instances of various types, beyond the scope of random.

Python's random implements generators for pseudo-random bytes, integers, and sequences. In random-recipes we collect additional functions to generate random instances of common types that may be useful.

Recipes

Type	Function
bool	random_bool
bytes	random_bytes
decimal.Decimal	random_decimal
datetime.date	random_date
datetime.datetime	random_datetime
float	random_float
fractions.Fraction	random_fraction
str	random_str

Installation

Install the library with pip from PyPi: pip install random-recipes

Development

random-recipes is developed by @ipear3. This is a low-commitment project for practicing Python packaging, but it does try to contribute something of value. Suggestions, comments, and contributions are welcome.

This project draws inspiration from more-itertools, a well-designed, simple extension to a Python's itertools.

Packaging & Dependency Management

Get started with development by installing the project with dev and test dependency groups via Poetry: poetry install --with dev

Testing

Although tests are automatically run pre-commit, developers must agree to create robust tests.

Releases

Releases are triggered automatically by commits to branch main with a tag like *.*.*, thanks to the Release action. The release action is defined in release.yml.

Tags

Commits tagged like *.*.* are the trigger of releases.
