Note

I don't understand why are you using faker but if you want to populate your database with random data then in

fake_data.py

# Import your libraries here
import random

# define your here
def main():
    # Call populate
    print("Populating random data begins ...")
    populate(20)
    print("Populating random data ends ...")


# random tasks
todos = ["foo", "bar", "bazz"]


def add_todo():
    # Create and save records in database
    q = TODO.objects.create(name=random.choice(todos))
    return q


def populate(N=5):
    for counter in range(N):
        entry = add_todo()

# call your main
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

• Note that if you don't use q and entry else where in your code, then remove both of them.
