Now, turn the four patterns from the constraints list into raw strings.

--hints--

You should turn the four strings inside the constraints list into raw strings.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /constraints\s*=\s*\[\s*\(\s*nums\s*,\s*r("|')\[0-9\]\1\s*\)\s*,\s*\(\s*lowercase\s*,\s*r("|')\[a-z\]\2\s*\)\s*,\s*\(\s*uppercase\s*,\s*r("|')\[A-Z\]\3\s*\)\s*,\s*\(\s*special_chars\s*,\s*r("|')\4\s*\)\s*,?\s*\]/) })

py
import re
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, '[0-9]'),
            (lowercase, '[a-z]'),
            (uppercase, '[A-Z]'),
            (special_chars, '')
