Answer 1

If you want an easy-to-use but highly customisable key generator, use key-generator pypi package.

Here is the GitHub repo where you can find the complete documentation.

Here's an example:

from key_generator.key_generator import generate

custom_key = generate(2, ['-', ':'], 3, 10, type_of_value = 'char', capital = 'mix', seed = 17).get_key()
print(custom_key)  # ZLFdHXIUe-ekwJCu

Hope this helps :)

Disclaimer: This uses the key-generator library which I made.
