Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
The instructions say as followed:
Having all([expression for i in iterable]), means that a new list is created by evaluating expression for each i in iterable. After the all() function iterates over the newly created list, the list is deleted automatically, since it is no longer needed.
Memory can be saved by using a generator expression. Generator expressions follow the syntax of list comprehensions but they use parentheses instead of square brackets.
Change your list comprehension into a generator expression by removing the square brackets.
To my understanding all I have to do is remove the square brackets however, I have done just that and I still get this error message:
Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.
You should turn your list comprehension into a generator expression by removing the square brackets.
What did I do wrong?
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}]')
]
# Check constraints
count = 0
# User Editable Region
# As you can see, all square brackets (‘[’ and ‘]’) are removed.
if all(
(
constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password))
for constraint, pattern in constraints
)
):
# The line above this describes my emotions write now. ): or :(.

break
return password

It’s kinda crazy to think it was that simple.
