title: How to create a 8 digit Unique ID in Python?
body: <p>I am making a web app for practice, it is a job portal. I want to create 8 digit unique IDs for job which will be visible to the end user. Ids can have numbers and alphabets. Pattern needs to be 8 digits without hyphens or dashes like <strong>XXXXXXXX</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I know there is UUID thing in python. But they seem to generate the id in their specific format. Is there a way to get the id in my required format? If not can someone please guide me on how to go about it?</p>
  
  <p>I know there is a similar thread <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1210458/how-can-i-generate-a-unique-id-in-python">How can I generate a unique ID in Python?</a>; but it does not answer my question specifically. It did not answer what I was trying to achieve.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
