Question

Sorry. I am not trying to start any flame. My scripting experience is from Perl, and I am pretty new in Python.

I just want to check whether I can have the same degree of flexibility as in Python.

In Python :

page = form.getvalue("page")
str = 'This is string : ' + str(int(page) + 1)

In Perl :

$str = 'This is string : ' . ($page + 1);

Is there any way I can avoid int / str conversion?

Answer 1

No, since Python is strongly typed. If you keep page as an int you can do the following:

s = 'This is string : %d' % (page + 1,)
