How to create a 8 digit Unique ID in Python?

Well you could use uuid.hex

import uuid
uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]  # Might reduce uniqueness because of slicing

Or Django also has helper function get_random_string which accepts two parameters length (default=12) and allowed_chars:

from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string
get_random_string(8)

Use os.urandom for the data, and base64 encode it;

In [1]: import os

In [2]: import base64

In [3]: base64.b64encode(os.urandom(6)).decode('ascii')
Out[3]: '6Amtry80'
