"""
Write a password generator in Python. Be creative with how you generate
passwords - strong passwords have a mix of lowercase letters, uppercase
letters, numbers, and symbols. The passwords should be random, generating a
new password every time the user asks for a new password. Include your
run-time code in a main method.

Extra:

    Ask the user how strong they want their password to be. For weak passwords,
    pick a word or two from a list.
