Random string generation with upper case letters and digits

I want to generate a string of size N.

It should be made up of numbers and uppercase English letters such as:

• 6U1S75
• 4Z4UKK
• U911K4

Answer 1

Based on another Stack Overflow answer, Most lightweight way to create a random string and a random hexadecimal number, a better version than the accepted answer would be:

('%06x' % random.randrange(16**6)).upper()

much faster.
