Word Generator - WordGenerator - Sep-17-2017
It works like this:
1 Vowel, 1 Consonant, 1 Vowel, 1 Consonant.. (So It sounds like a word..) VCVCVC
Vowels: A, E, I, O, U
Consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Z / W, Y, Q..
This is what I got so far:
import random
import string
VOWELS = list("AEIOU")
CONSONANTS = list(set(string.ascii_uppercase) - set(VOWELS))
def generate_word(length = 5):
return "".join(random.choice([VOWELS, CONSONANTS][_ % 2]) for _ in range(length))
print(generate_word(4))Now what's left is removing Q&Y&W out of consonants and make letters not repeat. Can somebody help me with this?

Since CONSONANTS is a list, you can remove the letters you want with the remove method (
CONSONANTS.remove('Q')). To not double letters, I would turn the generator comprehension into a for loop that builds the string up character by character. Then have a while loop in the for loop, that picks random letters until it picks one that isn't the last character of the string so far.

Please, only use underscore for a variable name if you're not going to use that variable at all.
[_ % 2] looks like some Perl nonsense, and shouldn't be anywhere in your code.
