random number

[Nikhil Verma]

Hi

I want something to achieve like this :-

def random_number(id): # I am passing it from request
    # do something
    return random_number

Output

random_number(5)
AXR670

One input that is a number in return you are getting 6 digit alphanumeric
string.

I tried this
s = '%06d' % random.randint(0, 999999)

it gives : '192862' (a string )

Thanks in advance.
