RandomPy is a commandline interface to the random.org JSON-RPC API. It is designed for use as a small utility and its output can easily piped into other applications or files.
The most useful thing to do is to put the script in your path and use it that way.
####Dependencies
- Python 3.x (tested on 3.4)
- no other third parties modules, just standard library stuff
###Examples Generate a random integer between 0 and 100:
$ python randompy.py integers -m 0 -M 100
Generate 10 random decimals with 8 decimal places:
$ python randompy.py -n 10 decimals -d 8
Generate 5 random strings consisting of lowercase ascii characters and digits:
$ python randompy.py -n 10 strings -c lower digits
Generate 100 numbers from a Gaussian distribution with mean 14 and standard- deviation 0.5 and 15 significant digits:
$ python randompy.py -n 100 gaussians -m 14 -s 0.5 -d 15
Get help on the integer subparser:
$ python randompy.py integers -h
The file contains an API key, but you should replace it with your own; these keys have a limited use per day, and every user/application should have its own key according to the random.org API usage guidelines.
You can get your own key here!
###Todo I aim to implement full use of the API. Currently generation of integers, decimal fractions, gaussians and strings is supported. The rest will come!
