<p>Generate a password (or other secure token) using a pattern language similar to regular expressions. We'll use the <code>strgen</code> module that enables a user to generate test data, unique ids, passwords, vouchers or other randomized data very quickly using a template language. The template language is superficially similar to regular expressions but instead of defining how to match or capture strings, it defines how to generate randomized strings.</p>

<p>This script (or exe if using web2py with """setup(windows=['locker2.py']))""") can be run as a task in windows every x minutes and will test for the presence of an internet connection and depending on whether it is found will set windows to lock after a given timeout without user activity.</p>
<p>This was made with help from random code snippets from around the web.</p>
<p>Tested only on windows 7.</p>

<p>Generates a really strong and secure password. It uses multiple characters and symbols. Remember to score please! It really means a lot to me. Revision 4 includes an input so you can choose how many characters you want your password to have. It is also faster due to a suggestion by Garel Alex. Thanks!</p>

the SystemRandom uses CryptGenRandom in Windows and /dev/random in linux and it is so better to use this to create random numbers in cryptography or any other security areas.</p>
