That are 5**10 == 9765625 candidates. That's still feasible to check using 
brute force.

>>> solutions = [x for x in itertools.product(range(5), repeat=10) if sum(x) 
<= 15]
>>> len(solutions)
1556215

The first ten solutions:

>>> solutions[:10]
[(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1), (0, 0, 0, 
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
0, 0, 4), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1), 
(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3), (0, 0, 0, 0,
