It lets you generate realistic-looking but fake information about educational institutions and academic contexts\u2014useful when you need test data for applications that work with schools, universities, or academic records.\n\nThe package works by extending Faker's provider system; you import it, register its provider with a Faker instance, and then call education-specific methods like institution_name(). It supports Python 3.8 through 3.12. The project is archived and no longer maintained, so while it may still function with current Faker versions, there is no active development or bug fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need education-specific fake data and are comfortable with an unmaintained package. The low install friction, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it safe to use in test environments. However, verify that its methods meet your needs and that it remains compatible with your Faker version, since no updates are planned."},"id":"faker-edu","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/faker-edu","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/faker-edu.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/faker-edu/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-03-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"faker-edu","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Provider for Faker which adds fake information about educational institutions and academics."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":228549,"position":9150,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
