Learn Regular Expressions by Building a Password Generator - Step 57

Python
1

I don’t know what I need to do with this. I have tried what feels like everything and I can’t move past it

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:
            if len(re.findall(pattern, password)) <= constraint:
                pass
            else:
                pass

# User Editable Region

    return password

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

2

Do the comparison only, don’t make an if/else out of it

It’s a bit non-intuitive, because it’s not correct syntax, it’s just the first step

3

What are the instructions for this step? Look carefully at the wording

4

need to modify on the same line of code. not required any new line
