In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the visual form of a document or a typeface without relying on meaningful content.

The lorem module provides a generic access to generating the lorem ipsum text from its very original text:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Installation

Note that the lorem module only supports Python versions since 3.3 🐍

Simply run the following to install the current version from PyPI:

pip install python-lorem

Or install the latest version from the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/JarryShaw/lorem.git
cd lorem
pip install -e .
# and to update at any time
git pull

Usage

Usage of the lorem module is rather simple. Depending on your needs, the lorem module provides generation of words, sentences, and paragraphs.

Get random words

The lorem module provides two different ways for getting random words.

1. def word(count=1, func=None, args=[], kwargs={}) -> Iterable[str]: ...
   

   Generate a list of random words.

   >>> list(word(count=3))
   ['labore', 'tempor', 'commodo']
   >>> list(word(count=3, func='capitalize'))
   ['Ea', 'Lorem', 'Do']
   >>> list(word(count=3, func=lambda s: s.upper()))
   ['UT', 'AMET', 'EXCEPTEUR']
   

   • Args:

     • count -- int

       Number of random words.

       default: 1

     • func -- Optional[Union[str, Callable[[str], str]]]

       Filter function. It can be an attribute name of str, or a customised function that takes the original str and returns the modified str.

       default: None

     • args -- List[str]

       Additional positional arguments for func.

       default: []

     • kwargs -- Dict[str, Any]

       Additional keyword arguments for func.

       default: {}

   • Returns:

     • Iterable[str] -- random words generator

2. def get_word(count=1, sep=' ', func=None, args=[], kwargs={}) -> str: ...
   

   Return random words.

   >>> get_word(count=3)
   'anim voluptate non'
   >>> get_word(count=3, func='capitalize')
   'Non Labore Ut'
   >>> get_word(count=3, func=lambda s: s.upper())
   'NISI TEMPOR CILLUM'
   

   • Args:

     • count -- Union[int, Tuple[int]]

       Number of random words. To generate random number of words, supply a 2-element tuple of int, the function will use random.randint to choose a random integer as the number of random words.

       default: 1

     • sep -- str

       Seperator between each word.

       default: ' '

     • func -- Optional[Union[str, Callable[[str], str]]]

       Filter function. It can be a function name of str, or a customised function that takes the original str and returns the modified str.

       default: None

     • args -- List[str]

       Additional positional arguments for func.

       default: []

     • kwargs -- Dict[str, Any]

       Additional keyword arguments for func.

       default: {}

       default: (0, 2)

     • word_range -- Tuple[int]

       Random range for number of words in each sentence. The function will use random.randint to choose a random integer as the number of words.

       default: (4, 8)

   • Returns:

     • Iterable[str] -- random sentence generator

Testing

The lorem module utilised unittest.mock to patch the builtin functions from random module. Test cases can be found in test.py. Contributions are welcome.
