How can you convert numbers (an interger in this case) to strings? (i.e. I
have some_number =3D 3, and would like to use it as a string)

thanks,

some_number = `3`

;-)

or

some_number = str(3)

There are a couple ways. Try the % operator, backquotes or the str builtin
function.

import math
"%d" % 3
type("%d" % 3)
`math.pi`
type(`math.pi`)
("%6.1f" % math.pi)
type("%6.1f" % math.pi)
str(math.pi)
type(str(math.pi))

All should print

Yeah, there's no itoa() -- use the printf equivalent:
>>> print "%d" % some_number
3

Multiple numbers are supplied as a tuple:
>>> h = 7
>>> m = 45
>>> print "%02d:%02d" % (h,m)
07:45
