As you can see from the output, now your regex matches the first l inside the string.
In your pattern, you can add a quantifier after a character to specify how many times that character should be repeated. For example, the + quantifier means it should repeat one or more times.
Add a + quantifier to your pattern.
You should modify your pattern variable into re.compile('l+').
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`
import re
pattern == re.compile('l+')
`))
})

import secrets
import string
def generate_password(length, nums, special_chars, uppercase, lowercase):
# Define the possible characters for the password
letters = string.ascii_letters
digits = string.digits
symbols = string.punctuation
# Combine all characters
all_characters = letters + digits + symbols
while True:
password = ''
# Generate password
for _ in range(length):
password += secrets.choice(all_characters)
constraints = [
(nums, '')
]
return password
# new_password = generate_password(8)
# print(new_password)
