No it isn't; you said you wanted a unique 4-digit number. This method
can return the same 4-digit number for lots of different file paths.

1. Transform the html path string into a (large) hexadecimal number
using the encode() function.
2. Convert the hexadecimal number into a decimal integer using the
int() function.
3. Shrink the integer into the range 0-9999 by using the % operator.
