Converting list to string /u/that_flying_potato Python Education

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know what is the best way to convert an entire list to a simple string element. I was trying out stuff I learned by coding a (very) simple password generator and I am stuck at figuring out how to output the password as a single string (without the empty spaces and brackets) instead of getting the entire array.

My code :

import string import random letters = list(string.ascii_lowercase) #Generates a random password with default value of 3 numbers and 3 letters (x and y arguments) def password_gen(x=3, y=3): char_list = [] #Returns a random letter def add_letter() : return random.choice(letters) #Returns a random number (0-9) def add_number() : return int(random.random()*10) #Loops to add the correct number of random characters i = 0 while i < x : char_list.append(add_letter()) i+=1 i=0 while i < y : char_list.append(add_number()) i+=1 #Shuffles the list and returns it as the generated password random.shuffle(char_list) return char_list password = str(password_gen(5, 5)) print(password) 

Currently the output gives something looking like this : ['p', 3, 5, 9, 'o', 'v', 'a', 9, 't', 3] and I want it to look like this p359ova9t3
