Generate consistent person data

I want to use Faker to generate some data for tests.

But I have trouble generating consitent data for a single user:

>>> from faker import Factory

>>> fake = Factory.create()

>>> fake.name()
>>> u'Tayshaun Corkery'

>>> fake.email()
>>> u'kaitlynn40@yahoo.com'


As you see the email doesn't reflect the previously generated name. The docs say:

Each call to method fake.name() yields a different (random) result.
This is because faker forwards faker.Generator.method_name() calls
to faker.Generator.format(method_name).

fake.name()

faker.Generator.method_name()

faker.Generator.format(method_name)

Is there a way to generate consistent person data without writing much of additional code?

I am afraid not. Let me say if there was one, which apparently supposed to be simple_profile() or seed(), but actually doesn't work out that way.

I guess the only inconsistent data as concerned is email. It doesn't even take time to fake one yourself.

I have made a script that will use the first name and last name from faker and add a random number between 1 and 1000, put them together to make a fake generated email with a number to make it look more legit (Example IanCartwright268@gmail.co.uk), here is the code

from faker import Faker # Import Faker And Random For The Random Number #
from random import *
fake = Faker('en_GB') # Sets Faker's Location To Great Britain#
fn = ((fake.first_name())) # Makes The First Name Into A Veriable #
ln = ((fake.last_name())) # Makes The Last Name Into A Veriable #
rn = str (randint(1,1000)) # Makes A Random Number From 1 To 1000 And It Used To Add A Random Number To The End Of The Email To Make It Look Legit #
email = (fn + ln + rn + "@gmail.co.uk") # Adds The First Name, Last Name And The Random Number And The Extension '@gmail.co.uk' #
print("First Name: " + fn + "n" + "last Name: " + ln + "n" + "Email: " + email) # Prints The Whole Output#
