Generate random id (please help!)

[menator01]

Another way of doing it

# Do the imports
from random import sample, shuffle
import string

# define the function
def generate_id():
    ''' Get the needed sample characters and size using string '''
    small_letters = sample(string.ascii_lowercase, 4)
    capital_letters = sample(string.ascii_uppercase, 2)
    numbers = sample(string.digits, 2)
    special_characters = sample('_+-!', 2)

    # Combine and shuffle samples
    result = small_letters + capital_letters + numbers + special_characters
    shuffle(result)

    # Return the results
    return ''.join(result)

for i in range(5):
    print(generate_id())
