Generating random strings based on user input

August 30, 2022

I am a complete beginner in Python and I want to generate a random string based on user input for a password generator I currently have the below:

import random
import string

print("Password Generator")


def lower(length):
    lower_case = string.ascii_lowercase
    generate = ''.join(random.choice(lower_case) for i in range(length))


amount_of_characters = input("How many characters do you want?")

I want the input of the user to equal the length of the random string.

For example if the user inputted 36 the string generated is 36 characters long.

>Solution :

import random
import string

print("Password Generator")


def gen(length):
    lower_case = string.ascii_lowercase
    generate = ''.join(random.choice(lower_case) for i in range(length))
    return generate


amount_of_characters = int(input("How many characters do you want?"))
print(gen(amount_of_characters))
