How can we generate a 6 digit random number from a given number ?
what about this?
given_number=123456
def rand_given_number(x):
... s = list(str(x))
... random.shuffle(s)
... return int(''.join(s))

print (rand_given_number(given_number))

That's not very random. In fact, it is *terrible* as a random number
generator.
But isn't it what the OP requested, i.e. "6 digit random number
*from a given number*"? That is, a random permutation of the set
of its digits?
I would consider that to be a very odd interpretation of that request. But it
*is* an extraordinarily vague request. I'm not sure if even the OP knows what he
wants. I suspect he really wants something like a hash.
