Even with a lookup table approach (which defeats your purpose of not storing the path) with 4 digits you're looking at a maximum 10000 unique file paths before your system duplicates numbers.  And that's the best-case scenario.  Anything else would be worse.

==============================================
pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 ) % 10000 
==============================================

Can you please explain the differences to what you have posted opposed to this perl coding?

==============================================
foreach my $ltr(@ltrs){
        $hash = ( $hash + ord($ltr)) %10000;
==============================================

I want to understand this and see it implemented in Python.
