I have this small code in a python lambda that is trying to pull down a repo from bitbucket:

import git
def git_clone(username,password):
   new_dir = os.getcwd() + "/temp/"
   os.chdir(new_dir)
   GIT_URL = "https://{0}:{1}@bitbucket.org/test-project/test.git".format(username,password)
   git.Git(new_dir).clone(GIT_URL)
The git method accepts my username but does not accept my password. My password contains letters, numbers and special chars. i get this error:
URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
Could this be a formatting issue?
                Don't put the credentials in the URL, since that means they get written to disk.  Use a credential helper.

Here is a solution to your problem. I tested it and it works.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os 
def git_clone(password, username):
    if password and username:
        url_string = r"git clone https://{}:{}@bitbucket.org/{}/test.git".format(username, password, username)
        os.system(url_string)
git_clone(username="<username>", password="<password>")
If this solves your problem, don't forget to accept and upvote it as the correct answer
