How to generate UUID in python withing given range

Question

I need to generate UUID for MYSQL int and BigInt which needs to be in a given range and I need 10 digits integer UUID for which I have written a code

def getUniqueID():
    unique_id = uuid4().int & (0 << 32) - 1
    return unique_id

for example, SQL int should not exceed the limit of 2147483647.(unique_id < 2147483647).

def getUniqueID(min,max):

    unique_id = uuid4().int & (0 << 32) - 1
    return unique_id

SQL int Limitation found here,

First you can install shortuuid with:

python -m pip install shortuuid

then you can use it like this:

import shortuuid
print(shortuuid.ShortUUID().random(length=10))
