That's sometimes necessary but you may find that just
using %s will suffice.
print "%s\n" % 42
print "%s\n" % "42"
print "%s\n" % 42.0

what joshua is saying is that for just displaying something, that it's
just as easy to convert it to a string, or, if you're using print, to
no

Hi
I want to check the type of a variable so that I know which format to use
for printing eg
def print_correct_format(a):
if type(a) == 'int':
print "a is an integer, value %i" % (a)
elif type(a) == 'float':
print "a is a float, value %f" % (a)
