title: Python: How to 'refresh' random variables
body: <p>I have this code, i want to know if there is anyway i can get rid of all these variables and instead only have one for each purpose. My code is a password generator with three different password strengths. Code will work without this but for design sake i want to make it smaller. I've tried making them functions but that didn't work.  I'm probably missing something obvious:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import time
  import random
  import string
  
  ps = ""
  name = ""
  ans1 = ""
  list_s = ["!","£","~","%","*","(","}","#",";","@","/",":","-"]
  list_w = ["mouse","human","dog","tree","boom","thief","killer","dealer","feeler","man","woman","death"]
  list_w2 =["help","yelp","empire","squire","lier","fryer","kitchen","bed","matress", "criminal","drug"]

  rc10 = random.choice(list_s)
  rc11 = random.choice(list_s)
  rc12 = random.choice(list_w)
  rc13 = random.choice(list_w2)
  
  while name == "":
      name = str(input("Welcome to password64, before we begin enter your name:"))
  while ans1 == "":
      ans1 = str(input("Have you used password64 before " + name + " ?"))
  
  ans1 = ans1[0].lower()
  
  if ans1 == "n":
      print ("Thank you for trying  password64 for the first time " + name + " !")
      time.sleep(4)
      print ("I will ask you the strength of the password you want, there will be three options: Strong, Medium or Weak")
      time.sleep(6)
      print ("A strong password is a mix of random numbers, letters and symbols")
      time.sleep(3)
  print ("A medium password will be a couple of words with random numbers and symbols")
      time.sleep(3)
      print ("A weak password will be a couple of words with a number")
  elif ans1 == "y":
      print ("Thank you for reusing password64 " + name + " !")
      time.sleep(2)
      print ("Let's get straight on with it then")
  
  
  while ps == "":
      ps = str(input("Do you with to generate a strong, medium or weak password?"))
      ps = ps[0].lower()

  else:
      print ("You did not enter a valid password strength")
      exit()
