From: Jens Vagelpohl >in python you can do: >str(int) >and in zope you do it like >_.str(int) You can also use the short form in both Zope and Python: `int` Two of those funny `` characters surrounding what you want converted to a string.

Re: [Zope] [python] converting int to string?
in python you can do: str(int) and in zope you do it like _.str(int) "Learning Python" by o'reilly is a pretty good beginner's book for python. i suggest you read it. it's well written and gives you the basics. jens on 1/7/01 11:12, Lee at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I wonder if anyone could help me here... > > Is there any way to convert an integer to a string data type in Python? > I see there is a facility for accomplishing the reverse conversion > (string -> int)? > > I have 4 integers, which are primarily used to handled the logic in the > program below (in the while loops).

[Zope] [python] converting int to string?
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me here... Is there any way to convert an integer to a string data type in Python? I see there is a facility for accomplishing the reverse conversion (string -> int)? I have 4 integers, which are primarily used to handled the logic in the program below (in the while loops). The value of this integer must also be added to a string (as a table column name), which will be used to create a SQL query. Here's a rough sketch of the program: p = 2 # no.of practicals t = 2 # no.of tutorials a = 2 # no.of assignments b = 3 # no.of bomus marks c = "52225" SQL = "CREATE TABLE CLASS" + c + "\n" SQL = SQL + "( \n" SQL = SQL + "matric float, \n" SQL = SQL + "fname varchar, \n" SQL = SQL + "lname varchar, \n" SQL = SQL + "uname varchar, \n" while p > 0 : SQL = SQL + "p" + p + " integer, \n" # cannot add type "int" to string p = p - 1 while t > 0 : SQL = SQL + "t" + t + " char(1), \n" t = t - 1 while a > 0 : SQL = SQL + "a" + a + " integer, \n" a = a - 1 while b > 1 : SQL = SQL + "b" + b + " integer, \n" b = b - 1 while b > 0 : SQL = SQL + "b" + b + " integer \n" # ',' taken out from last query b = b - 1 SQL = SQL + ")" Of course, I could have a load of statements in the while loops like: if p = 1: pString="1" ... etc. But that would look hella ugly! Another alternative would be to send both the integer value and a string parameter (converted by Zope) in the calling DTML method. This is okay - but is there a better way to do it? As usual, thankyou very much in advance. Is this off-topic BTW?
