invalid link, did you forget to copy the last character?

[tulip ingot]

oof ye

ends with an a

[static lichen]

I do have to ask first: do you aware this shouldn't be use in real life because the password are unprotected with encryption and can be easily visible to other user/application with access to the file system (basically every application in the user space

[tulip ingot]

ye ik

idk how to encrypt strings yet

[static lichen]

ok, just make sure you are aware

[tulip ingot]

i wasnt planning on releasing it anywhere

maybe if i learn encryption or learn how to store the passwords in a db

[static lichen]

I mean not as release but using it personally

i.e. you shouldn't store any of your real password there

[tulip ingot]

i wont dw

note: there is an error in i.capitalize which ill fix soon

Except exception
Bad, catching any exception is not a good idea, catch InputError or whatever may be raised there;

deletepassword, findpasswords, ..
Not PEP-8 compliant; adding _ -> delete_password increases readability;

On a side note: there is definitely better way to get list of all english letters than just list them as ['a', 'b', ..] :

>>> import string
>>> string.ascii_letters
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
>>> string.ascii_lowercase
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> list(string.ascii_lowercase)
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

it should have the ability to generate other character in 3 states
1 NONE -> Would not generate
2 MAYBE -> Could generate
3 MUST -> Must generate and regenerate password if the password doesn't contain

and this should apply to capital letter, number and special character seperately

[tulip ingot]

the exception one is useful thanks. im not planning on making the thing opensource

[tulip ingot]

wdym by this

[static lichen]

Exception:
line 19: ValueError instead
line 40: Current: ValueError, would not error if no conversion of integer is used (which from the code, is not necessary)
line 56: No error
line 68: No error
line 82: No error
line 92: Current: ValueError, would not error if no conversion of integer is used (which from the code, is not necessary)

[static lichen]

generate different kind of password by user (application) requirement

[tulip ingot]

oh ok

[static lichen]

(this excluded error from missing IO input (e.g. EOFError), which should just raise an error because it just shouldn't work

[tulip ingot]

im trying to add capital letters and istead of typing out the whole uppercase list im doinga for loop

which isnt working

[tulip ingot]

i need to add this too ye

[static lichen]

?

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
