I'm working my way through _Learning_Python_ 2nd ed., and I saw something peculiar which is not explained anywhere in the text.
print " " + file + " size=" + `size` The `s appear to somehow automagically convert the integer to a string for concatenation. How does this work? Is this just a shortcut for str(size)? Is it considered bad practice to use `s? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
