Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

Django Eadred gives you some scaffolding for generating sample data to make it easier for new contributors to get up and running quickly, bootstrapping required database data, and generating large amounts of random data for testing graphs and things like that.

For v0.2, I added some helper methods for generating names, email addresses, sentences and paragraphs. It's definitely the case that these helpers won't handle all use cases, but I think they'll help specific ones.

There are no backwards-compatability problems with v0.1.

To update, do:

pip install -U eadred
