Some useful string methods, variables:

string.ascii_letters: in case you want to use alpha characters a-zA-Z. The output is:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

string.ascii_lowercase:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

string.ascii_uppercase:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

string.digits output is numbers:

0123456789

string.punctuation output is special charaters:

!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~

string.whitespace includes all whitespace charaters:

\t\n\x0b\x0c\r

NOTE: space is at the end of the above output, which is not visible.

There are many usecases you can do with this list like generating password, invitation code and etc from a psecific list.

#python #string #ascii_lowercase #ascii_uppercase #digits #punctuation #whitespace

Generate a sample string (bonus coupon) from string functions and removing misguiding characters from the final list:

def generate_coupon(coupon_code_length=10):
     alphanum = list(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits)
     alphanum.remove('L')
     alphanum.remove('I')
     alphanum.remove('1')
     alphanum.remove('0')
     alphanum.remove('O')

     return ''.join(random.choice(alphanum) for i in range(coupon_code_length))

This function returns a random string from ascii_uppercase and string.digits. This is one usages out of very many usages of string module public variables. :)
