TypeError while using pydbgen module

I'm trying to use some functions from pydbgen module. Some of them work while the others keep getting me the following error:

import pydbgen
from pydbgen import pydbgen
myDB=pydbgen.pydb()

testdf=myDB.gen_dataframe(5,['name','city','phone','date'])

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/user/PycharmProjects/pythonProject1/BIrainSensor.py", line 5, in <module>
    testdf=myDB.gen_dataframe(5,['name','city','phone','date'])

    df = pd.DataFrame(data=self.gen_data_series(num,data_type=fields[0]),columns=[fields[0]])
  File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\venv\lib\site-packages\pydbgen\pydbgen.py", line 191, in gen_data_series
    fake.seed(self.seed)
  File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1\venv\lib\site-packages\faker\proxy.py", line 83, in __getattribute__
    raise TypeError(msg)
TypeError: Calling `.seed()` on instances is deprecated. Use the class method `Faker.seed()` instead.

I tried to google it but found nothing. I also tried to downgrade Faker to version 2.0.0 but it doesn't work

UPDATE: It seems that the code works fine in CMD prompt but it still doesn't work in Pycharm

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Installing Faker 2.0.5 worked for me

    pip install Faker==2.0.5

    Example:

    myDB = pydbgen.pydb()
testdf = myDB.gen_dataframe(5,['name','city','phone','date'])
print(testdf)

    Output:
