'h*ndjob', 'h*ndj*b', 'h*ndj0b', 'h*ndj@b', 'h4ndjob', 'h4ndj*b', 'h4ndj0b', 'h4ndj@b' ]

I've tried following :-

profanity.load_censor_words_from_file("a.txt")
print(profanity.CENSOR_WORDSET)

but it is returning locations

[<better_profanity.varying_string.VaryingString at 0x7f7ccec418e0>,
 <better_profanity.varying_string.VaryingString at 0x7f7ccec417f0>]

Thanks

Hi @vivolscute, previously all the variants are stored in memory (which could go up to GBs of memory depending on how big a wordlist is). #17 added VaryingString to only generate the variants on runtime to version 0.7.0.

If I'm not wrong, to get all the variants of all the words in the wordlist, you can use version 0.6.1 instead of the latest version 0.7.0 (with the same code you provided). Moreover, here is the function generating variants of a word:

better_profanity/better_profanity/better_profanity.py

Line 118 in e352465

def _generate_patterns_from_word(self, word):

It wouldn't be too hard to add a feature for this. However, the number of word variations can grow exponentially, sometimes to intractable numbers which leads to crashes. For example, if a word exists with more than 16 letter e's, it has 43,046,721 possible variants (see #15), and words like this have crashed my computer before due to excessive memory consumption. But words with this many variants are uncommon for most use cases, unless you're including full sentences. What we could do is add a fail-safe to this feature, which the end-user can disable at their own risk.
