How to generate random number by given string in python?

As hash function gives different values in different python interpreters , Is there a more stable one in python ?

Update one:

"stable" means that the function should give the same number when the string is same anytime. hash can't do it .

I want a function like :

def generate_random_number_by_string(string:str)->int:
    pass

For example , generate_random_number_by_string("16") should be the same in anytime .

You can use a hash from hashlib. For example:

import hashlib
int(hashlib.sha256(b'yourstring').hexdigest(), base=16)
