random number

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.
