ACCEPTED ANSWER

>>> str(42)
'42'

>>> int('42')
42

Links to the documentation:

str(x) converts any object x to a string by calling x.__str__(), or repr(x) if x doesn't have a __str__() method.

ANSWER 2

Try this:

str(i)

ANSWER 3

There is no typecast and no type coercion in Python. You have to convert your variable in an explicit way.

To convert an object into a string you use the str() function. It works with any object that has a method called __str__() defined. In fact

str(a)

is equivalent to

a.__str__()

The same if you want to convert something to int, float, etc.

>>> i = 5
>>> print "Hello, world the number is " + i
TypeError: must be str, not int
>>> s = str(i)
>>> print "Hello, world the number is " + s
Hello, world the number is 5
