Input ABC123 Output ***123 The first half of the characters in the word should contain only alphabetic in the upper case. The second half of the words should contain only digits

You could use a translation table:

maskUppercase = str.maketrans("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","*"*26)

string = "ABCD1234"
print(string.translate(maskUppercase)) 

****1234

you could also reform the string using join() after masking the letters in a list comprehension:

"".join([c,"*"][c.lower()!=c] for c in string)

you can use

import re

input_str = "ABC123"
print(re.sub("[A-Z]", "*", input_str))

Output

'***123'

The regex will replace all alphabetic chars with * in a giving string

You can use the string module to do this.

from string import ascii_uppercase

input = "ABC123"
output = "".join("*" if x in ascii_uppercase else x for x in input)
