    My *personal* opinion is that it's the best way. I've said it before, I
*love* the modulo-printf-ish-operator... but, you can also use the '+'

    e.g. text = "Some String" + str(YourNumber)

    You have to stick 'str' in there, otherwise it'll raise a TypeError

    This works perfectly for me. What version are you using? Do you have any
nasty 'from module import *'s laying aroudn? Dunno, it seems to me that
whenever something behaves totally /oddly/ that one of those is to blame. :)
