toolrack.password

Password generation functions.

PasswordProfile defines a set of characters to use for generating password. It’s creating by passing a string with characters or character definitions encosed in curly braces (such as {alnum}, {num}, {alpha}), which are expanded to the corresponding set of characters.

For instance:

profile = PasswordProfile('{alpha}-_')
profile.generate(length=5)

yields a 5-chars password composed of letters, dashes and underscores.

toolrack.password.DEFAULT_CHARS = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'
