Python: How to generate a 12-digit random number?

Question

In Python, how to generate a 12-digit random number? Is there any function where we can specify a range like random.range(12)?

import random
ran         


        

Answer 1

Since leading zeros are allowed (by your comment), you could also use:

int(''.join(str(random.randint(0,9)) for _ in xrange(12)))

---

EDIT: Of course, if you want a string, you can just leave out the int part:

''.join(str(random.randint(0,9)) for _ in xrange(12))

This seems like the most straightforward way to do it in my opinion.
