First, I'd clean up the variable name, and use a for loop instead of a
while loop.
import string
import random
def random_characters(number):
new_list = []
for i in range(number):
new_list.append(random.choice(string.ascii_lowercase))
return "".join(new_list)
print(random_characters(8))
Then I'd probably replace the function body with:
def random_characters(number):
return "".join([random.choice(string.ascii_lowercase) for i in
range(number)])
