There is no need for str() since print implicitly calls string to 
convert objects to string format. Also the addition is not needed since 
print takes a comma separated list of arguments. So it would normally be:

print 'Addition of above two numbers are : ', z

Using addition on strings is quite expensive and there are usually 
better ways to do the same job.

This however is true(ish - int is a type not strictly an object, except 
that everything in Python is an object, including types! :-) and it is 
the source of the original error message.
