[Tutor] Simple PassGen

[Marc Tompkins]

The print() function adds a newline.  Try this instead - above your loop,
create an empty string; in place of yor print(), append to the string; at
the end, print the whole string.

I'd demonstrate but I'm typing this from my phone.

Hello Tutors,

  I've been messing around with a simple password generation script...no
real crypto or anything, but a little stumped on the output.

#!/usr/bin/python
import random, string

pool = string.digits + string.letters + string.punctuation

for i in range(8):
    print random.choice(pool)

  This seems to do the job, but it lists the output with newlines, perhaps.
For example:

$ ./passgen.py
t
C
(
2
w
P
x
3

  I thought that maybe adding "print random.choice(pool).strip()" might work
but not having any luck with that. Is the output this way, simply because of
the nature of the range, or can anyone point my in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

K
