Two question from a newbie

[Peter Bittner]

I've got two simple questions:

 1.) How do I implement ORs and ANDs in an if-statment?

   - e.g. I'd like to have this C-code in Python:

   if (x.mode == "view" || x.mode == "modify")
      myMode = x.mode;

  2.) What does str(...) do?  (I've already posted this, sorry!)

I've seen
      print '....' + str(text) + '...'
in some code (in a function definition).
What does this 'str(...)' really do? - Is it absolutely necessary??

Please, e-mail!
