Why  one line   You can fit anything onto one line   Assuming you want them to start with  a   and increment by one character each time  with wrapping   26   here s a line    gt  gt  gt  mkstring   lambda x      join map chr   ord  a    y 26  for y in range x      gt  gt  gt  mkstring 10   abcdefghij   gt  gt  gt  mkstring 30   abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcd

This might be a little off the question  but for those interested in the randomness of the generated string  my answer would be   import os import string  def  pwd gen size 16       chars   string letters     chars len   len chars      return str   join chars int ord c    256    chars len   for c in os urandom size     See these answers and random py s source for more insight

To simply repeat the same letter 10 times   string val    x    10    gives you  xxxxxxxxxx    And if you want something more complex  like n random lowercase letters  it s still only one line of code  not counting the import statements and defining n    from random import choice from string import ascii lowercase n   10  string val      join choice ascii lowercase  for i in range n

If you can use repeated letters  you can use the   operator    gt  gt  gt   a  5   aaaaa

The first ten lowercase letters are string lowercase  10   if you have imported the standard library module string previously  of course -    Other ways to  make a string of 10 characters    x  10  all the ten characters will be lowercase xs -      join chr ord  a   i  for i in xrange 10    the first ten lowercase letters again   etc  etc -

if you just want any letters     a  10    gives  aaaaaaaaaa    if you want consecutive letters  up to 26        join    c    x for x in range 97  97 10       gives  abcdefghij
