get_random_word() & get_random_words() return a NoneType....!!

[arixank]

Describe the bug
At some point in type I'm encountering a NoneType in my code, which I'm unable to try and catch nor ignore it by another method..!

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
here is a code screen shot:

code:

import random

rwd = RandomWords()
choice = random.randint(0, 14)

print(choice)
word = rwd.get_random_words(limit=15)
print(word, '\n')
new_word = word[choice]
print(new_word)

Expected behavior
Need to generate words or at least return a English word

Same issue here under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with python 3.9, I'll go try with 3.8

for now this is what I'm doing for a dictionary type application..! At least string type can be done with something.

Same here, strangely enough it sometimes spits out a list type, sometimes NoneType

r = RandomWords()
random_words_list = r.get_random_words(limit=length_of_list)

[Mohamed-Amine-AALI]

Same here

from random_word import RandomWords
r = RandomWords()
print(r.get_random_word())

Sometimes it prints an actual word, sometimes None

Still happening for me:

import random
from random_word import RandomWords

random_words = RandomWords()
words = random_words.get_random_words(limit=random.randint(1, 10), hasDictionaryDef=True)

This sometimes returns a list of random words, and sometimes returns NoneType.

I managed to fix it guys

That's not a fix, it's a hacky workaround at best.
