How to get limited digits in uuid python?

Question

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

import uuid
uuid.uuid4().int

Output

155824466611029597996750071195809352096

Answer 1

int has no subscriptable object. So try to convert it into str then slice it

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

You can also use the hex value

uuid.uuid4().hex[:10]

Answer 2

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.
