In Python, how do I create a string of n characters in one line of code?

Question

I need to generate a string with n characters in Python. Is there a one line answer to achieve this with the existing Python library? For instance, I need a string of 10 l

Answer 1

This might be a little off the question, but for those interested in the randomness of the generated string, my answer would be:

import os
import string

def _pwd_gen(size=16):
    chars = string.letters
    chars_len = len(chars)
    return str().join(chars[int(ord(c) / 256. * chars_len)] for c in os.urandom(size))
