Summary: Tutorial contains wrong sample code.

Initial Comment:
The tutorial for version 2.1 of Python contains this piece of wrong code:

>>> x = 10 * 3.14
>>> y = 200*200
>>> s = 'The value of x is ' + `x` + ', and y is ' + `y` + '...'
>>> print s
The value of x is 31.4, and y is 40000...

where the real output should read:

>>> print s
The value of x is 31.400000000000002, and y is 40000...
