How to generate random strings in Python?
python, random, string
Solution
Generating strings from (for example) lowercase characters:
import random, string
def randomword(length):
letters = string.ascii_lowercase
return ''.join(random.choice(letters) for i in range(length))
Results:
>>> randomword(10)
'vxnxikmhdc'
>>> randomword(10)
'ytqhdohksy'
Problem
How do you create a random string in Python? I need it to be number then character, repeating until the iteration is done. This is what I created: ``` def random_id(length): number = '0123456789' alpha = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' id = '' for i in range(0,length,2): id += random.choice(number) id += random.choice(alpha) return id ```
