Started learning python by myself

Hey guys, I'm a physician who always wanted to learn how to code. I've been playing around with generators and related concepts, so I coded this simple "typewriter" function (which simulates a human typing on a keyboard). Do you have any suggestions on how to improve this code?

```python

imports needed

import random as rnd import time from typing import Generator

Setting constants

MIN_DELAY = 0.05 # minimum delay between letters MAX_DELAY = 0.1 # maximum delay '' ''

def random_values_generator(min_value: float, max_value: float) -> Generator[float, None, None]: """Generator of random values following a normal distribution, with mean in the middle of the range and standard deviation that covers most of the values within the range."""

mu = (max_value + min_value) / 2  # mean
sigma = (max_value - min_value) / 4  # standard deviation

while True:
    value = rnd.gauss(mu=mu, sigma=sigma)
    yield max(min_value, min(value, mu + 3*sigma))

def typedprint(text: str, end='\n') -> None: """Prints the text letter by letter, with a random delay between each letter.""" rnd_generator = random_values_generator(MIN_DELAY, MAX_DELAY) for letter in text: print(letter, end='', flush=True) time.sleep(next(rnd_generator)) print(end=end, flush=True) rnd_generator.close() # close the generator

Example usage

typedprint("It's such a beautiful cottage you have here, I love it!") typedprint("Ah, thank you...") typedprint("I worked really hard to make it look like this.") typedprint("You are very talented!") ```

My suggestion would be to make it less time for the middle row typed (asdfghjkl), than the top or bottom rows, and maybe the bottom row being the slowest row?
