Is there a built-in method / module in Python to generate letters such as the built-in constant LETTERS or letters constant in R?
The R built-in constant works as letters[n] where if n = 1:26 the lower-case letters of the alphabet are produced.
Thanks.
Answer
It's called string.ascii_lowercase.
If you wanted to pick n many random lower case letters, then:
from string import ascii_lowercase
from random import choice
letters = [choice(ascii_lowercase) for _ in range(5)]
If you wanted it as a string, rather than a list then use str.join:
letters = ''.join([choice(ascii_lowercase) for _ in range(5)])
