Would it not be simpler to decide on the algorithm you want to use and
then simply impliment it?  There are likely limits in username
selection for your system that will exclude characters or combinations
thereof, or make them less than choice, or there is a preferential
hierarchy of tries you'd like.

I see people, all too often, forgetting that the first step in
implimenting something is planning it out.  Python  makes implimenting
easy.  Use that.
