Randfacts is a Python module 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:

Via your AUR helper, like paru:

$ paru -S python-randfacts

Or manually

$ 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)

The above example 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 SFW (safe for work) facts

$ python3 -m randfacts

The unsafe argument can be supplied to provide only NSFW (not safe for work) facts

$ python3 -m randfacts --unsafe

The mixed argument can be provided to provide both SFW and NSFW facts.

$ python3 -m randfacts --mixed

$ python3 -m randfacts --help
