generate a random string in python

To generate a random string in python, you can use the random module and generate a string of random characters using a string generator.

Here is an example code snippet that generates a random string of 10 characters:

main.py
import random
import string

def generate_random_string(length):
    letters = string.ascii_lowercase
    return ''.join(random.choice(letters) for _ in range(length))

random_string = generate_random_string(10)
print(random_string)
233 chars
10 lines

In the above code snippet, we first import the random and string modules.

random.choice() method is used to pick a random character from string.ascii_lowercase, which contains all the lowercase letters of the alphabet.

We then join these randomly generated characters using ''.join() to form the final string.

Finally, we call the function with the desired length of the string and store the generated random string in the variable random_string.

Executing print(random_string) will output the randomly generated 10 character string.
