3

import string
import random

s1=list(string.ascii_lowercase)
s2=list(string.ascii_uppercase)
s3=list(string.digits)
s4=list(string.punctuation)

characters_number=input("Enter the numbers of characters of your password: ")
while True:
    try:
        characters_number=int(characters_number)
        if characters_number < 6:

# 30% of the characters_numberπŸ‘‡πŸ»
end1=round(characters_number * (30/100)) 
# 20% of the characters_numberπŸ‘‡πŸ»
end2=round(characters_number * (20/100))    

s=[]
for i in range(end1):
    s.append(s1[i])
    s.append(s2[i])

for i in range(end2):
