Hi All

I want to generate a random number of 8 digits which involve 3 number
and 5 digits.
Like this :-

def random_number():
     # do something

random_number()
"123abcde" # first 3 numbers and 5 letters after the numbers.

I am able to generate the random number 8 digit like this:-

def random_number():
     characters = list(string.ascii_lowercase + string.ascii_uppercase\
                     + string.digits)
     coll_rand = []
     for i in range(8):
         random.shuffle(characters)
         coll_rand.append(characters[0])
     return ''.join(coll_rand)

This generates like this "Kkrgt56r"

Use random.choice to pick a random digit or a random letter.
