Try force installing an older version of Faker

pip install Faker==2.0.5

[kvrameshreddy]

add this import "from faker import Faker"
and change "fake" to "Faker"
Faker.seed(self.seed)

Can you expand on that last part @kvrameshreddy?

This is line 12-13

   self.fake=Faker()
   self.seed-seed

should change to waht?

[kvrameshreddy]

I haven't faced any issue at line 12-13. my issue appeared at line 191-192. so i changed accordingly which worked for me.

[kbowerma]

Thanks but now I get:
NameError: name 'Faker' is not defined

Here it is:

else:
            import pandas as pd
            num=int(num)
            fake=self.fake
            Faker.seed(self.seed)
            lst = []

No worries, I am just using Faker directly

[kvrameshreddy]

Add this line: "from faker import Faker" after pandas import then it will work fine
