Use the timeit module to measure performance: C:\TEMP>python -m timeit "for i in xrange(10000): str(i)" 10 loops, best of 3: 81.8 msec per loop C:\TEMP>python -m timeit "for i in xrange(10000): '%s' % i" 10 loops, best of 3: 78.5 msec per loop The %s version consistently wins in my system -2.5.1 on WinXP- for a wide range of inputs. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
