It works by registering an EnumProvider with a Faker instance, then calling a method to pick a random member from any Python enum class you define. This is useful in test suites where you need to populate enum-typed fields with varied test data.\n\nThe package depends only on faker and has no other runtime dependencies, keeping installation simple. However, it has been abandoned since its initial release on 2018-10-26 and carries Alpha status, meaning compatibility with modern versions of Faker or current Python releases is uncertain.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2018-10-26) and carries Alpha status. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, the lack of maintenance means it is likely incompatible with modern Faker and Python versions. For current projects, consider using Faker's built-in randomization or a maintained alternative."},"id":"faker-enum","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/faker-enum","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/faker-enum.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/faker-enum/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-10-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"faker-enum","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Enum provider for the Faker Python package."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":278870,"position":8130,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.2"}
