Unique profile

[azmeuk]

• Faker version: 17.4.0
• OS: Archlinux

Data unicity and profile are two great faker features, bun unfortunately they don't fit well together:

>>> import faker
>>> fake = faker.Faker()
>>> fake.unique.profile()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File ".../site-packages/faker/proxy.py", line 314, in wrapper
    if retval not in generated:
TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'

I suggest implementing unique profile generation, where each value in the profile would be unique.

Feel free to submit a corresponding PR.

Yes I know that :) But in the meantime there is no reason to close the ticket.

I personally do not like the stale bot stuff either, especially with low activity on maintainer tagging, but I am just a contributor here as well and not going to blame anyone for using it - there usually are perfectly valid reasons to introduce such bots.

I still wish to keep the ticket open.

I've run into a similar error when trying to use the words provider. The uniqueness check doesn't handle providers that return unhashable containers.

faker==26.0.0

from faker import Faker

fake = Faker()

fake.unique.words(nb=2)
