Convert number to string in python

By: Python Documentation Team Printer Friendly Format    

To convert, e.g., the number 144 to the string ‘144’, use the built-in type constructor str(). If you want a hexadecimal or octal representation, use the built-in functions hex() or oct(). For fancy formatting, see the String Formatting section, e.g. "{:04d}".format(144) yields '0144' and "{:.3f}".format(1/3) yields '0.333'.
