I also had to wade deeply into the Python documentation to figure this out.
The tutorial was helpful as far as it goes, but I found the int(), float()
etc hard to find.
I still would like to know how to set the number of decimals, equivalent to
say the VB format(Float_Var,"0.000") expression. Anyone out there have a
solution?

At one point a while back I read through the Python Tutorial. When I try to
reference it for what I think I remembered for basic stuff like this I get
really stressed out and end up spending a lot of time with it. I'm still
not sure where to look to find these conversion functions. I wish I did.
Chapter 3 of the tutorial seems to cover Numbers, Strings, Unicode Strings,
and Lists but I don't see mention of int(), float(), str(), etc...
The global modul index does not list any of these functions in it's main
listing. I looked under the Strings module but these are not mentioned
there either.
wxPython documentation is a dead end in this case because some wxWindows
functionality is missing from wxPython and there are no wxPython notes to
tell me this is the case. I worked on wxString for quite a while trying to
get it to work before I realized that it wouldn't. I wish there was a list
some where that detailed which things in the wxPython/wxWindows help file
are implemented and which are not. I'm still waiting to find out about
wxMetafile.
This newsgroup has been a real life saver for me in trying to figure out all
of this stuff. A huge sigh of relief when it come to finding out details.
I'm almost finished with the first stage of my project thanks to this group.

str(number)
Perhaps you want to spend some time browsing the python tutorial:
