@kuba
You can shorten your code even further by getting rid of the variable txt and putting the bare value inline and also using the islower() method instead of a comparison string.

print(len([i for i in 'mQmPtphqGrboHhmgaqVhCdwTwignlQvjIopDqVpgaNrwkAzVcnkHyNiPdSmgJmgrPiMjpnjdbuPucHnouwfKuPcybromnmbvfxJqRnnOvWsceZeYzRyqnkaaFsffjenxoIhqHnIzorlOdwZoxYmAuNwNnRppguwidvbtOqdbUngpZdbGqwYjfpLzPjRtwVwEqBbYmCqbKwuziCoEwPsIkJgruTbhdyWpvPztAodufjZxLaZcUeFaklSmeRfolohVbXoDfIqMqgIrQhzedqZlFwaBndQkQexBdLsCfXebrEfiOnSgYquyaqohxoDmLdDhwoOpgtkuRzeYziuvnuvnUuOtqasZueYpKfAkmKcJcWeocQvJguVsZfVovgrztAiryZivHqyMjoLyJdklKifmoWeOjVnogiiaBzDfrsWlOeAzPxltamqQiujZrpZrUcIlyktdJbhmNpDbltOlLnAqVhcxgObghpdcScgIiayqygUgwati' if i.islower()]))

Answer 4

@ChaoticDawg Yep, you're right. I wasn't sure if it was an intrinsic method of Python, not of the strings module - thanks!

@Dennis
I was just looking into a ruby solution. lol Oh well.
That's probably about as good as it gets.

Answer 7

The shortest code wins.

Answer 8
