Summary: tutorial: backticks, repr(), str()

Initial Comment:
http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-docs/tut/node9.html:

> how do you convert values to strings? Luckily, Python
> has a way to convert any value to a string: pass it to
> the repr() function, or just write the value between 
> reverse quotes (``). Some examples:

a) str() should probably be mentioned
b) is it good to teach newbies to use backticks?
   i don't remember when i've last seen them in python
   code and it's easy to confuse them with single
   quotes.
