Generating chinese/pinyin names

Question

I am trying to generate random chinese names using Faker (Python), but it generates the names in chinese characters instead of pinyin.

I found this:

from faker import Faker

fake = Faker("zh_CN")

fake.name()
# Wu Shuai

fake.address()
# Huangpuwei Road, Xiashi, Shangai R seat 196165

and it show that it generates them in pinyin, while when I try the same code, it gives me only chinese characters.

How can I get the pinyin?

Answer 1

fake.romanized_name() worked for me.

I got lucky by looking through dir(fake) . Doesn't seem to have a method for pinyin address that I can see...
