Force anything to be a string.

[Nathan Clegg]

I use something like this to ensure my arguments are strings:

def stringify(x):
    if type(x) is type(1L):
        return '%ld' % (x,)
    else:
        return str(x)

I use a special case for longs because I don't normally want the 'L'
appended to my numbers.  End users don't like it :)
