We're digressing a bit here, but I don't believe you actually tried
the above more than a few times. Just because a character is printable
doesn't mean you can find it on a keyboard.
>>> string.printable
'0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~
\t\n\r\x0b\x0c'
Good luck with a password consisting of a vertical tab, form-feed and
carriage return :-).

P.S. The dollar symbol isn't on all keyboards, so I'd also remove it
from the list of acceptable characters.
