unique number of occurrance in a number range - python-3.x

Question

I am interested in figuring out how many times each number occurs once in a numberrange of 5 digits, like 01234, 01243, 01324, etc ....
I know that the occurence is 120 unique times
At the moment I have programmed it with a lot of for loops and a lot of ands.
as you can see in the code
number = 5
for a in range(number):
for b in range(number):
for c in range(number):
for d in range(number):
for e in range(number):
if (a != b and a != c and a != d and a != e and
b != c and b != d and b != e and c != d and
c != e and d != e):
print ('{}{}{}{}{}'.format(a, b, c, d, e))
Is there a different and a nicer way to program the code above?

Someone suggested using itertools. Here is the code to use:
from itertools import permutations
#generator
factorials = permutations(set(range(5)))
for fact in factorials:
print(fact)
If you would not like to use itertools, but would like to generate every string, you can use a list comprehension to put it all in one line.
rn = range(number)
number= 5
sequences = [(a,b,c,d,e) for a in rn for b in rn for c in rn for d in rn for e in rn if a != b and a!= c and a!= d and a!= e and b!= c and b!=d and b!=e and c!=d and c!= e and d!= e]
Alternatively, you could define a method to recursively create new lists and append items
def rGenFactorials(L, leng=5, collected = [], restrictions=set()):
# base case
if len(L) == leng:
collected.append(L)
return
#induction
options = set(range(leng))
options -= restrictions
for op in options:
# copy restrictions
r = set(restrictions)
# add new restriction
r.add(op)
# copy list
l = L[:]
# append unused int
l.append(op)
# recursive invocation
rGenFactorials(L=l,collected = collected, restrictions=r)
C = []
rGenFactorials([], collected = C)
for c in C:
print(c)
