To make best use of ‘str.format’, read its documentation thoroughly <URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatstrings>. To format numbers to strings, you choose which representation you want; e.g. “decimal integer”. Then, use the appropriate format syntax for that representation (in that case, the ‘d’ type specifier). > Example > > >>> str(num) That creates a new string object, by asking the integer object to return its string representation. That gives you no choice in the representation, which is the opposite of what you are asking for. > >>> cmd = "run_parallel -za{} -s 'daemon -cf xyz; sleep 1'".format(str(num)) The ‘{}‘ format string takes all the defaults for that parameter. If you want to customise the format, choose the specification and put it inside the ‘{’ and ‘}’ characters. -- \ “I know when I'm going to die, because my birth certificate has | `\ an expiration date.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
