Giving a range for random.sample with strings/elements of a list

Question

I would like to create a variable which contains a name with 3-7 random letters. (It doesn't matter if the name is incorrect). I know how to do it to contain 3 letters but I just don't have a clue how to handle a range with letters (string/list). This is my code so far:

import random
ABC = ['A', 'Á', 'B', 'C'... just imagine every single letter of the Hungarian alphabet as a list]
name = random.sample(ABC, 3)

I tried to do it like this:

name = random.sample(ABC, 3) or random.sample(ABC, 4)

but it didn't work, of course. Can you guys help me out, please? :)

Answer 1

random.sample(ABC, 3) returns a list. As follows

>>> random.sample(ABC, 3)
['q', 'h', 'x']

you can convert it to string using join method

>>> a = random.sample(ABC, 3)
>>> a 
['q', 'h', 'x']
>>>''.join(a)
'qhx'

Edit: You can even choose the number in between 3 and 7 by using randint of random module

>>> a = random.sample(ABC, random.randint(3,7))
>>> ''.join(a)
'bvt'
>>> b = random.sample(ABC, random.randint(3,7))
>>> ''.join(b)
'fycu'
