[IronPython] How to convert a unicode variable to string?

[Vizcayno]

Curt:
Thanks for your answer and guidelines. As I do not know what value
will my variable receive from cells of an excel file (int, double,
strings with accute spanish characters, etc.) I will use the try ...
except.
My very best regards.
Vizcayno.
