README.md

This is a simple python package to generate random English words. If you need help after reading the below, please find me on Twitter at @vaibhavsingh97.

If you love the package, please 🌟 the repo.

You should be able to install using easy_install or pip in the usual ways:

$ easy_install random-word $ pip install random-word

Or clone this repository and run:

Or place the random-word folder that you downloaded somewhere where your scripts can access it.

👋 This package will now, by default, fetch the random word from local database

from random_word import RandomWords r = RandomWords() # Return a single random word r.get_random_word()

Different services are available as a part of the random word package, which fetches random words from various API providers. Please check the Services section for more details.

Assuming that you have Python and pipenv installed, set up your environment and install the required dependencies like this instead of the pip install random-word defined above:

$ git clone https://github.com/vaibhavsingh97/random-word.git $ cd random-word $ make init

Add API Key in random_word directory defining API Key in config.yml . If you don’t have an API key, then request your API key [here][wornikWebsiteLink]

# Generate random words in Python

To generate a random word from the file system:

1. Open a file in reading mode.
2. Use the str.splitlines() or str.split() method to split the contents of the file into a list.
3. Use the random.choice() method to pick as many random words from the list as necessary.

Copied! 
import random def get_list_of_words(path): with open(path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: return f.read().splitlines() words = get_list_of_words('/usr/share/dict/words') print(words) random_word = random.choice(words) print(random_word) # 👉️ sales 

If you’d rather generate random words from a remote database (HTTP request), click on the following subheading:

The code sample generates random words from a file on the local file system.

If you are on Linux or macOS, you can use the /usr/share/dict/words/ file.

If you are on Windows, you can use this MIT word list.

Open the link, right-click on the page and click «Save as», then save the .txt file right next to your Python script.

We used the with statement to open the file in reading mode.

The statement automatically takes care of closing the file for us.

Copied! 
import random import requests def get_list_of_words(path): with open(path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: return f.read().splitlines() words = get_list_of_words('/usr/share/dict/words') print(words) random_word = random.choice(words) print(random_word) # 👉️ sales 

Make sure to update the path if you aren’t on macOS or Linux.

We used the file.read() method to read the contents of the file into a string.

# Splitting by newlines or splitting by spaces

The str.splitlines method splits the string on newline characters and returns a list containing the lines in the string.

Copied! 
multiline_str = """\ bobby hadz com""" lines = multiline_str.splitlines() print(lines) # 👉️ ['bobby', 'hadz', 'com'] 

If the words in your file are separated by spaces, use the str.split() method instead.

Copied! 
string = "bobby hadz . com" lines = string.split() print(lines) # 👉️ ['bobby', 'hadz', '.', 'com'] 

The str.split() method splits the string into a list of substrings using a delimiter.

When no separator is passed to the str.split() method, it splits the input string on one or more whitespace characters.

# Picking a random word from the list

If you need to pick a random word from the list, use the random.choice() method.

Copied! 
import random def get_list_of_words(path): with open(path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: return f.read().splitlines() words = get_list_of_words('/usr/share/dict/words') print(words) random_word = random.choice(words) print(random_word) # 👉️ unbreakable 

The random.choice method takes a sequence and returns a random element from the non-empty sequence.

# Picking N random words from the list

If you need to pick N random words from the list, use a list comprehension.

Copied! 
import random def get_list_of_words(path): with open(path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: return f.read().splitlines() words = get_list_of_words('/usr/share/dict/words') print(words) n_random_words = [ random.choice(words) for _ in range(3) ] # 👇️ ['computers', 'praiseworthiness', 'shareholders'] print(n_random_words) 

We used a list comprehension to iterate over a range object.

List comprehensions are used to perform some operation for every element or select a subset of elements that meet a condition.

The range class is commonly used for looping a specific number of times.

On each iteration, we call the random.choice() method to pick a random word and return the result.

# Generate random words from a remote database (HTTP request)

To generate random words from a remote database:

1. Make an HTTP request to a database that stores a word list.
2. Use the random.choice() method to pick a random word from the list.
3. Optionally, use a list comprehension to pick N random words from the list.

Copied! 
import random import requests def get_list_of_words(): response = requests.get( 'https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000', timeout=10 ) string_of_words = response.content.decode('utf-8') list_of_words = string_of_words.splitlines() return list_of_words words = get_list_of_words() print(words) random_word = random.choice(words) print(random_word) # 👉️ zoo 

If you don’t have the requests module installed, install it by running the following command.

Copied! 
# 👇️ in a virtual environment or using Python 2 pip install requests # 👇️ for python 3 (could also be pip3.10 depending on your version) pip3 install requests 

You can open the MIT word list in your browser to view the contents.

The list contains 10,000 words with each word on a separate line.

We used the bytes.decode() method to convert the bytes object to a string.

The bytes.decode method returns a string decoded from the given bytes. The default encoding is utf-8 .

The words are on separate lines, so we used the str.splitlines() method to split the string into a list of words.

If your database responds with a long string containing space-separated words, use the str.split() method instead.

Copied! 
string = "bobby hadz . com" lines = string.split() print(lines) # 👉️ ['bobby', 'hadz', '.', 'com'] 

# Picking a random word from the list

If you need to pick a random word from the list, use the random.choice() method.

Copied! 
import random import requests def get_list_of_words(): response = requests.get( 'https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000', timeout=10 ) string_of_words = response.content.decode('utf-8') list_of_words = string_of_words.splitlines() return list_of_words words = get_list_of_words() print(words) random_word = random.choice(words) print(random_word) # 👉️ global 

# Picking N random words from the list

If you need to pick N random words from the list, use a list comprehension.

Copied! 
import random import requests def get_list_of_words(): response = requests.get( 'https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000', timeout=10 ) string_of_words = response.content.decode('utf-8') list_of_words = string_of_words.splitlines() return list_of_words words = get_list_of_words() print(words) n_random_words = [ random.choice(words) for _ in range(3) ] # 👇️ ['clerk', 'trust', 'tr'] print(n_random_words) 

The list comprehension iterates over a range object of length N and calls the random.choice() method to pick a random word on each iteration.

Random Word Generator

Which other python packages are needed to be installed?

What this library does?

It helps us to generate random words i.e random noise in text data which is helpful in many text augmentation based tasks, NER, etc.

Which methods are available currently in this library?

Setting to look out before generating random words

Basic

from RandomWordGenerator import RandomWord # Creating a random word object rw = RandomWord(max_word_size, constant_word_size=True, include_digits=False, special_chars=r"@_!#$%^&*()<>?/\|> 

from RandomWordGenerator import RandomWord rw = RandomWord(max_word_size=5) print(rw.generate()) 

Output will be some random word like > hdsjq 

from RandomWordGenerator import RandomWord rw = RandomWord(max_word_size=5, constant_word_size=False) print(rw.generate()) 

Output will be some random word like > gw 

from RandomWordGenerator import RandomWord rw = RandomWord(max_word_size=5, constant_word_size=True, special_chars=r"@#$%.*", include_special_chars=True) print(rw.generate()) 

Output will be some random word like > gsd$ 

from RandomWordGenerator import RandomWord rw = RandomWord(max_word_size=5, constant_word_size=False) print(rw.getList(num_of_random_words=3)) 

Output will be some random word like > ['adjse', 'qytqw', ' klsdf', 'ywete', 'klljs'] 

$ easy_install random-word $ pip install random-word

 Different services are available as a part of the random word package, which fetches random words from various API providers. Please check the Services section for more details.
