Password checker

[sammy2938]

Hi i'm getting a little confused with the strength checker i may be completely off here but can someone explain how to get the strength checker to work. Thanks :)

import re
def pword(password):
      

       if len(password) <=10:
               print("Your password must be 10 characters long.")
               return False
       elif not re.findall(r'\d+', password):
               print("You need a number in your password.")
               return False
       elif not re.findall(r'[A-Z]+', password):
               print("You need a capital letter in your password.")
               return False
           
       elif not re.findall(r'[|\"|\'|~|!|@|#|$|%|^|&|*|(|)|_|=|+|\||,|.|/|?|:|;|[|]|{\}|<|>]', password):
               print("You need a symbol in your password.")
               return False
       else:
               print("Password Accepted")
               return True

passwordValid = False
while not passwordValid:
   password = input("Type in your password: ")
   passwordValid = pword(password)

def passStrength():
       

       a = '[A-Z]'

       b = '[|\"|\'|~|!|@|#|$|%|^|&|*|(|)|_|=|+|\||,|.|/|?|:|;|[|]|{\}|<|>]'

       c = '\d+'

       d = '[a-z]'

       veryStrongPass = a and b and c and d
       
       strongPass =  a and b and c or b and c and d or a and c and d

       medPass = a and b or a and c or a and d or b and d or c and d

       weakPass = a or b or c or d

       

       if weakPass:

               print("Your password is weak!")

              
       elif medPass:

               print("Your password is medium!")


       elif strongPass:

               print("Your password is strong !")

               
       elif veryStrongPass:

               print("Your password is very strong !")

passStrength()

Well, you can use string module and set intersection to see if a symbol is presented in the password.

In [1]: import string

In [2]: string.digits
Out[2]: '0123456789'

In [3]: string.ascii_lowercase
Out[3]: 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

In [4]: string.ascii_uppercase
Out[4]: 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

In [5]: digits = set(string.digits)

In [6]: lower, upper = set(string.ascii_lowercase), set(string.ascii_uppercase)

In [7]: passwd = 'puwhwpfuhw'

In [8]: if digits & set(passwd):
   ...:     print('OK')
   ...: else:
   ...:     print('bad')
   ...:     
bad

       b = '[|\"|\'|~|!|@|#|$|%|^|&|*|(|)|_|=|+|\||,|.|/|?|:|;|[|]|{\}|<|>]'
       c = '\d+'
       d = '[a-z]'
       veryStrongPass = a and b and c and d
       strongPass =  a and b and c or b and c and d or a and c and d
       medPass = a and b or a and c or a and d or b and d or c and d
       weakPass = a or b or c or d
 
       if weakPass:
                print("Your password is weak!")
       elif medPass:
                print("Your password is medium!")
       elif strongPass:
                print("Your password is strong !")
       elif veryStrongPass:
                print("Your password is very strong !")

You never actually check the password, all you do is check if a couple strings are non-empty, while it looks like your intention is probably to use those strings as regular expressions and run them against some input that isn't provided.
