If you really want a hack, here it is:

while 1:print 
''.join(__import__('random').choice(__import__('string').letters+'1234567890') 
for x in xrange(8)),;n=raw_input()

This is a one-liner (though mail transmission may split it up), no 
import statements. If someone can come up with an even smaller version, 
feel free to post. :)
