In this video we build a password generator in python3.x. Usually these things are written using compiled languages for more speed, but this can be used as a guideline regardless. This should give you a great understanding of how python syntax looks, and how password generators work. There are many directions we can go with this from here.

Use the code provided here freely!

** I appologize for not showing the entire code at the end. At the start of minute 34 is where I put the final touches on the code.

    AsciinemaPlayer.create(
      '/assets/10401.cast',
      document.getElementById('player'),
      { cols: 102, rows: 53 }

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/10401 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
