It runs, the TK design is fine but the generated code is limited to one type. What it currently does when it runs is pops up a window with (copy and Generate) button, 4 radio buttons (low, medium, strong, powerful), a drop down for the length(8-32), and the entry box where the password does generate.
It currently only generates one type so if you pick low the generated password is in all lower case, if you pick medium all upper case, strong all numbers and powerful all symbols.
I'd like to edit to use a combination of upper,lower,numbers, symbols instead of just one

I did try on line 43
password = password + random.choice(symbols) + random.choice(upper) + random.choice(lower)
#2nd try
password = password + random.choice(symbols, upper, lower)
This did use symbols, upper and lower case but the length was set to 8 and it generated 24 (8 of each) On the bright side it did randomly put them in Example: (Dh$Yr!Gq$Hy$Zg@Fv&Uz@Af)
The 2nd try resulted in a error: line 43, in low password = password + random.choice(symbols, upper, lower) TypeError: Random.choice() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given
try this
password = password + random.choice(symbols + upper + lower)
OR
password += random.choice(symbols + upper + lower)
HERE IS YOU FULL CODE> I am writing a comment where I change my code.
