I made a list of the characters that I want in the string and also know the length. I just don’t know where to announce the characters that I want to use.`
import random characters = ("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", "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", ":", ";", "<", "=", ">", "?", "@", "[", "]", "/", "^", "_", "'") class Password: def creat_password(self): length = float(input("Enter a float between 6 & 12"))

Answer
You can just create an empty list and loop over however many random characters you want and append them to the list, then you join them into a single string and return.
also, you really want to use int(input("Enter a int between 6 & 12 "))
instead of float(input("Enter a float between 6 & 12"))
since range only accepts ints and not floats.
def creat_password(self): length = int(input("Enter a int between 6 & 12 ")) pw_chars = [] for i in range(length): pw_chars.append(secrets.choice(characters)) password = ''.join(pw_chars) return password
this function can also be simplified down to this using comprehension expression:
def creat_password(self): length = int(input("Enter a int between 6 & 12 ")) return ''.join(secrets.choice(characters) for i in range(length))
