Randfacts is a python library that generates random facts. You can use randfacts.get_fact() to return a random fun fact. Disclaimer: Facts are not guaranteed to be true.

Installation

randfacts can either be installed via pip or via the AUR, whichever way you prefer.

Installation via pip:

$ pip3 install randfacts

Installation via AUR:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-randfacts.git && cd python-randfacts
$ makepkg -si

Usage and examples

import randfacts
x = randfacts.get_fact()
print(x)

will print a random fact like: Penguins can't taste sweet or savory flavors, only sour and salty ones

This package has a filter option to filter out potentially inappropriate facts. The filter is on by default. To disable the filter, you can just set the filter_enabled parameter to False.

from randfacts import get_fact
print(get_fact(False))
# or
print(get_fact(filter_enabled=False))

get_fact also has a parameter that will make the function only return unsafe facts. This argument takes precedence over the filter_enabled argument. For example:

print(get_fact(only_unsafe=True))

If you want to access the list of facts directly, you can just import the safe_facts, unsafe_facts, or all_facts lists from the randfacts module.

Command line usage

randfacts can be executed via the command line with the following commands:

Normal execution; only safe facts

$ python3 -m randfacts

The unsafe argument can be supplied to provide only unsafe facts

$ python3 -m randfacts --unsafe

The mixed argument can be provided to provide both safe and unsafe facts.

$ python3 -m randfacts --mixed

More help.

$ python3 -m randfacts --help

REST API Usage

There is an unofficial REST API for this module. The source code/links can be found here.

    Describe the bug I made a new file and ran `import randfacts

    x = randfacts.get_fact()

    print(x)`

    It is giving me
    return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 2678: character maps to <undefined>

    Expected behavior It should give me a fact

    Please complete the following information:

    • OS: Windows 10
    • Python version: python 3.9.5
    • Versionn: 0.7.3

  • Outdated facts still in the package.

    Outdated facts still in the package.

    I found an old fact that is now no longer true. Specifically, it's this one: "Every tweet Americans send is being archived by the Library of Congress." The Library stopped this in the year 2017 according to the date of an NPR post on the topic (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/26/573609499/library-of-congress-will-no-longer-archive-every-tweet).

  • 0.2.8 build?

    0.2.8 build?

    What was changed:

    1. Removed some inconvenience from main.py
    2. Updated setup.py
    3. Rewritten most of test.py
    4. Added a try-except block in test.py to keep code consistency and to "suppress" issue #3

  • test.py failure to complete test 3/3

    test.py failure to complete test 3/3

    Bug info: The bug is a FileNotFoundError that originates in test.py and is affecting line 43 possibly line 46 (line numbers are from the current 0.2.7 master) in the file due to a blank state in the variable basedir.

    Steps to reproduce the behavior:

    1. Install the randfacts master on a test machine that is UNIX based
    2. Install randfacts master into the system using setup.py
    3. cd to tests and do sudo python3 test.py
    4. See Error

    Intended result: The test was intended to be completed successfully with no issues and terminate with no problems.

    Actual result: SEE SCREENSHOT

    Screenshot before "suppression": Screen Shot 2021-01-28 at 8 22 04 AM

    Machine info:

    • OS: MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
    • Python version: 3.8.5
    • Package Version: 0.2.7 (but was detected on a 0.2.8 dev build)

    Extras: The problem was "suppressed" by adding a try-except around the affected area.

    Added some more facts

    Sorry I know I just made a pull request for the 'the first programmers were women' fact, but I accidentally added that to your repo instead of my forked one. This is the one that actually had a good number of new facts. Sorry for the confusing pull requests I'm still a bit new.
