Learn Regular Expressions by Building a Password Generator - Step 55

Tell us what’s happening:

My code is
re.findall (pattern, password)

It’s not an indentation error
Is it a punctuation error?
Am I using the wrong syntax to pass ‘pattern’ and ‘password’ as the argument?

Your code so far

import re
import secrets
import string


def generate_password(length, nums, special_chars, uppercase, lowercase):
    # Define the possible characters for the password
    letters = string.ascii_letters
    digits = string.digits
    symbols = string.punctuation

    # Combine all characters
    all_characters = letters + digits + symbols

    while True:
        password = ''
        # Generate password
        for _ in range(length):
            password += secrets.choice(all_characters)
       
        constraints = [
            (nums, r'\d'),
            (lowercase, r'[a-z]'),
            (uppercase, r'[A-Z]'),            
            (special_chars, fr'[{symbols}]')            
        ]

# User Editable Region

        # Check constraints
        for constraint, pattern in constraints:
            pass
            re.findall(pattern, password)

# User Editable Region

    return password

# new_password = generate_password(8)
# print(new_password)

I figured out literally seconds after posting my topic and before reading your response. It was lucky guess on my part.

Now I can go to bed. :zzz:
