Simple script to help create csv files with dummy 10 char numbers

Create a csv of dummy NPI numbers

This is a simply Python script that will allow the user to create a .csv file of a list of dummy NPIs.

I built this, to save time when creating different spreadsheets for testing purposes.

How to use

Make sure you have pipenv installed, this is like npm but for Python.

Then clone the repo to a directory of your choosing.

> git clone https://github.com/mrpbennett/dummy-npis.git

Once you have cloned the repo, it's time to install its dependencies. Make sure you're in the root of the repo in the terminal. Then run the following command.

> pipenv install

The only depencey we need here is Pandas

Once everything has been installed correctly it's now time to generate your dummy list run python main.py like below. You will then be prompted for how many npis are required.

> python main.py             
How many NPI numbers do you want to create? 

After entering your chosen number and pressing enter a .csv will be downloaded to your Desktop
