You can use zero padding format with fixed width:

"{:04d}".format(number)

Can you explain what is going on? – jack Aug 18 '18 at 06:33
It makes a string from a number in the fixed width format (4 characters) and uses zeros rather than spaces for padding. – taras Aug 18 '18 at 06:41

You can do something like this, Hope this helps

num = 10
if num < 1000:
    print "%04d" % (num,)
