Generate realistic raw datasets with optional DQ issues

Generate realistic raw datasets with optional DQ issues

To install run

pip install rawdata

Basic Usage

Create a random table

import rawdata.generate
colLabel = ['DATE', 'name',   'Born']
colTypes = ['DATE', 'PEOPLE', 'PLACE']
tbl = rawdata.generate.random_table(6,4, colTypes, colLabel)
rawdata.generate.show_table(tbl)

    > DATE,name,Born
    > 2013,Douglas,Scandinavia
    > 1999,Hunter,Sierra Leone
    > 2005,Shubha,Madagascar

Adding Errors to a table

import create
bad_string = generate.random_letters(6)
t = rawdata.create.Table(tbl, bad_string)
t.add_errors(2)
print(t.tbl)

And after adding 2 random errors there are additional spaces in Douglas, and the Born column is missing for Hunter

DATE    name       Born
-----   ---------  ----------
2013     Douglas   Scandinavia
1999    Hunter
2005    Shubha     Madagascar

Other functions

import rawdata.generate as generate

print('Random Number    = ', generate.random_int(1,100))
    > Random Number    =  84

print('Random Letters   = ', generate.random_letters(40))
    > Random Letters   =  T1CElkRAGPAmWSavbDItDbFmQIvUh26SyJE58x49

print('Random Password  = ', generate.generate_password())
    > Random Password  =  peujlsmbf19966YKCX

words = generate.get_list_words()
print(len(words), ' words : ', words[500:502])
    > 10739  words :  ['architeuthis', 'arcsine']

places = generate.get_list_places()
print(len(places), ' places : ', places[58:60])
    > 262  places :  ['Brazil', 'British Virgin Islands']
