Simplest Python Random Password - with only 6 lines of code

The most simple way to generate a random password in Python.

1. import string
2. import random
3. with string create possible charachters
4. with random generate a random number
5. create password
6. print password to the console

import string
import random

password_chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
length = random.randint(12, 15)

password = "".join([random.choice(password_chars) for _ in range(length)])

print(password)

Or a single line password generator below:

import string
import random

print("".join([random.choice(string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation) for _ in range(random.randint(12, 15))]))

"".join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation, k=random.randint(12, 15)))

This is what I love about stumbling upon random stuff like this. I've been a Python developer for two decades, and yet had no idea that random.choices (the plural) existed. Looks like it came in 3.6. Thanks!
