A huge THANK YOU to whoever set the rules for PyPI passwords! You're allowed to go with a monocase password, as long as it's at least 16 characters in length. Finally, someone who recognizes XKCD 936 passwords!
And yes, I generated an XKCD 936 password for the job. My parrot is good at that... uses a dictionary consisting of every word ever noted by her, and can optionally trim it to "most common N words" for any given value of N. Currently, her full dictionary is 12759 words, which is better than the original estimate of 2048. And hey. If anyone wants to try brute-forcing a known 936 password, I'm happy to watch them play with Polly to figure out her dictionary. It'd be fun. Look at all that futility!
