Regular Expressions with inputs
#2
You haven't actually used the re module here.
If you wanted to use re you would need to change your conditional to something like:
if re.match("^[a-z]{8}$", username):
but... don't do that.

Just check the length:
if len(username) == 8 and username.isalpha():

No need for regular expressions here at all.
