Python Program to Generate Random Quotes from quote Module

How to Generate a keyword at random?

To get quotes from different backgrounds, we will generate a random keyword each time, and the program will return a quote from a specific author centered on the keyword.

We use the random_word module to get any random English word. The random_word module can produce a single random word or a list of random words.

Before going to the code, install the random_word module as shown below

pip install random_word

Program to Generate Random Quotes from quote Module in Python

Method #1: Using random_word Module (Static Input)

Approach:

  • Import RandomWords from the random_word module using the import keyword.
  • Import quote from the quote module using the import keyword.
  • Create an object for the RandomWords() to extract the words and store it in a variable.
  • Apply the get_random_word() function on the above object to get a random word and store it in another variable.
  • Print the above word obtained.
  • Pass the above word obtained and limit = 1 as the arguments to the quote() function to generate a quote at random. Set a limit to limit the number of quotes generated.
  • Store it in another variable.
  • The quote function provides a collection of dictionaries, each containing information about a certain quote.
  • Loop till the length of the above result dictionary using the for loop.
  • Inside the loop, print the corresponding quote.
  • The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Import RandomWords from the random_word module using the import keyword
from random_word import RandomWords
# Import quote from the quote module using the import keyword
from quote import quote
# Create an object for the RandomWords() to extract the words and store it in
# a variable.
randobj = RandomWords()
# Apply the get_random_word() function on the above object to get a random word
# and store it in another variable.
wrd = randobj.get_random_word()
# Print the above word obtained.
print("The result Keyword obtained = ", wrd)
# Pass the above word obtained and limit = 1 as the arguments to the quote()
# function to generate a quote at random.
# Set a limit to limit the number of quotes generated.
# Store it in another variable.
# The quote function provides a collection of dictionaries, each containing
# information about a certain quote.
rslt = quote(wrd, limit=1)
# Loop till the length of the above result dictionary using the for loop.
for itr in range(len(rslt)):
    # Print the corresponding quote.
    print("The result Quote obtained = ", rslt[itr]['quote'])

Output:

The result Keyword obtained = yeoman
The result Quote obtained = The scene I had just witnessed (a couple making love in the ocean) brought back a lot of memories – not of things I had done but of things I had failed to do, wasted hours and frustrated moments and opportunities forever lost because time had eaten so much of my life and I would never get it back. I envied Yeoman and felt sorry for myself at the same time, because I had seen him in a moment that made all my happiness seem dull.
