How to get limited digits in uuid python?


I want only 10 digit unique integer number. How can I do that? Please help me.

import uuid
uuid.uuid4().int

Output

155824466611029597996750071195809352096

Solution

  • Try

    import uuid
    str(uuid.uuid4().int)[:10]
    

    A better idea would be to generate a cryptographic token with the desired length. This also has the possibility of collisions, but I imagine it would be much less than a truncated UUID.

    Other Solution

    shortuuid
