New submission from Paolo Melchiorre <pa...@melchiorre.org>:
It is very common to construct a variable containing alphanumeric values as a basis for generating random strings, especially in the web environment as a slug to be used in URLs: >>> import string >>> ascii_alphanumerics = string.ascii_letters + string.digits >>> ascii_alphanumerics 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789' I suggest inserting a variable for just this purpose directly into Python's "string" module: >>> import string >>> string.ascii_alphanumerics 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789' ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 405315 nosy: pauloxnet priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: An 'ascii_alphanumerics' variable is missing in the 'strings' lib type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45669> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
