In python say you have

s = "string"
i = 0
print s+i

will give you error so you write

print s+str(i)

to not get error.

I think this is quite a clumsy way to handle int and string concatenation. Even Java does not need explicit casting to String to do this sort of concatenation. Is there a better way to do this sort of concatenation i.e without explicit casting in Python?
