Simple question.  I am accessing a database of job numbers that take the
form of "00049" and "01049".  These values are integers.  When I return the
value from the database it reads "49".  I need to add the leading digits if
they are there so this number would read "00049".  In MSAccess I used
Format(num,"00000").  How can I do that with Python?
