That's a tuple, not a list (but also not what you want).

> I want string to be "n = 10". How?

String concatenation, for which you want the string representation of
n.  One technique:

>>> n = 10    
>>> string = "n = " + `n`
>>> print string
n = 10

A few minutes with the tutorial would probably pay dividends. . .

    nature of the whole edifice that I had subsequently based on them.
