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)?
No, it's a shortcut for repr(size).
Is it considered bad practice to use `s?
Yes, please don't do it. I can't remember ever seeing it in production code, so many people wouldn't even know what it was. And ' vs. ` is confusing. -- Michael Hoffman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
