The gibberish module let's you generate random, pronounceable pseudo-words. It started life as an answer on StackOverflow about password generators , but it's also a fun way to coin words or just spark some lexical creativity.
gibberish creates pseudo-words which consist of one consonant-vowel-consonant syllable that sounds like it could be English. Sometimes it spits out real words; most of the time not:
>>> from gibberish import Gibberish >>> gib = Gibberish() >>> gib.generate_word() 'zept' >>> gib.generate_word(start_vowel=True) 'ientz' >>> gib.generate_word(end_vowel=True) 'twae' >>> gib.generate_words(3) ['sqiounn', 'nuil', 'hydrieucks']
It also works as a console script:
~$ gibberish 6 strit druf doct vel dosk flomp ~$ gibberish brank ~$ gibberish 1 -l large fabaduk ~$ gibberish 2 -l medium voskot koontan
To install the gibberish module and console script globally, clone this repository and run:
~$ python setup.py install

- Analyze the components from CMUdict (
nltk.corpus.cmudict) entries. - Use
secretsmodule if Python version 3.6 or later.

Please help edit entry the gibberish/database/components.yaml as which of the characters is an initial consonant, final consonants, or vowels is opinionated.
