There is nothing that I know of built into Python that does this.

There is no reason you can't write your own class to implement this. 
Something that by "default" looks like a string, but in some contexts 
(operated on by certain types) sees if its string could be treated as a 
value of some other type, and if so, converts its value to that type and 
does the operation.
