mimesis support

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am one of the developers of mimesis and a huge fan of your library.

I really want to provide a native integration of mimesis and pytest-randomly just like the one you have with faker and factoryboy. I really like that the reseed happens before each test, so the results are significantly better than the regular one time seed.

What needs to be done?

From our side we have changed how random is used internally to expose global random instance: https://github.com/lk-geimfari/mimesis/pull/471/files#diff-02fe14a63fc506efde39da2f898b5e0fR127 so it would be easy to seed it
I can provide a PR with the same logic as you already use for faker and others, if that’s fine

Related: https://github.com/lk-geimfari/mimesis/issues/469 I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks!

@lk-geimfari I just merged and released #187 which adds a package entrypoint that can be used for reseeding. Adding such an entrypoint to mimesis would be the way to go now!

Thanks, I hadn’t heard of mimesis before but it looks useful. Sounds like you’re ready to make the PR!

Add mimesis to requirements.in, recompile requirements.txt (on python 2.7), add the logic and a test, and a note in HISTORY.rst for the next release. Thanks!
