Random word generator- Python

Reading a local word list

If you’re doing this repeatedly, I would download it locally and pull from the local file. *nix users can use /usr/share/dict/words.

Example:

word_file = "/usr/share/dict/words"
WORDS = open(word_file).read().splitlines()

Pulling from a remote dictionary

If you want to pull from a remote dictionary, here are a couple of ways. The requests library makes this really easy (you’ll have to pip install requests):

import requests

word_site = "https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000"

response = requests.get(word_site)
WORDS = response.content.splitlines()

Alternatively, you can use the built in urllib2.

import urllib2

word_site = "https://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.10000"

response = urllib2.urlopen(word_site)
txt = response.read()
WORDS = txt.splitlines()
