For <code>password_generator.py</code>, how would you generate a password that was, instead of a fixed 10 characters long, a random length between 10 and 14 characters?
== Goal #1: reading from files ==
To get some more practice with reading from files, we're going to read, run, and extend some Python scripts.
=== Countries example ===
Here are the text file and Python script from the countries example from the file lesson:
* [http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/SkillsharePython/Unit5/countries.txt countries.txt]
* [http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/SkillsharePython/Unit5/countries.py countries.py]
Please download both files and save them to your Desktop. Review <code>countries.py</code>, make sure you understand it, and then run it!
Then, <b>add code to the file to answer the following questions</b>:
* What are all of the countries that end in "land"?
* What is the shortest country name?
=== Wordplay example ===
Here are two new files. The first, <code>sowpods.txt</code>, is the official Scrabble wordlists we'll use for our Scrabble cheater. The second is a Python script that uses data from <code>sowpods.txt</code> to find weird and interesting words:
* [http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/SkillsharePython/Unit5/sowpods.txt sowpods.txt]
* [http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/SkillsharePython/Unit5/wordplay.py wordplay.py]
Please download both files and save them to your Desktop. Open <code>wordplay.py</code>, see if you can guess what it does, and then run it!
Then, using the existing code as a template, add code to the file to answer the following questions:
* What are all of the words that contain "VV"?
* What are all of the words that contain "Q" without a "U"?
* What are all of the words that contain all of the vowels and Y, ("A", "E", "I", "O", "U", "Y") in any order?
What other weird words can you find?
