Oh, I thought you needed only 4 total chars.
Using a regex probably is a bit overkill here:
>>> import string
>>> accepted = string.letters + string.digits
>>> max_numbers = 4
>>>
>>> def test(word):
... numbers = 0
... for c in word:
... if c.isdigit():
... numbers += 1
... if not c in accepted or numbers > max_numbers:
... return False
... return True
...
>>>
>>> test('gerd12')
True
>>> test('gerd1234')
True
>>> test('gerd 1234 ')
False
>>> test('gerd 1234')
False
>>> test('%$$%%#$')
False
>>> test('gerd123456')
False
