以前生成测试字符时，用random模块拼来拼去来生成随机串，如姓名，手机，身份证等，还是费一些功夫，不过有了faker模块，一切变得简单起来
基本使用：
from faker import Faker
fake = Faker()
print fake.name() # Jeffrey Freeman
fake = Faker("zh_CN")
print fake.name() # 潘杨
print dir(fake) # 可以看到所有随机方法。
fake = Faker()
try:
for i in dir(fake):
if hasattr(fake, i):
func = getattr(fake, i)
if i.startswith('_') or i in ['add_provider', 'format', 'binary','get_formatter', 'parse' ,'provider','providers','pytuple','random']:
pass
else:
print i,':',func()
else:
print('操作有误,请重新输入')
except Exception as e:
pass

自定义faker，用add_provider方法：
from faker import Faker
from faker.providers import BaseProvider
import random
class MyProvider(BaseProvider):
def foo(self):
return random.random()
fake = Faker()
fake.add_provider(MyProvider)
print fake.foo()
