know len(string) will get the length of a string, but it

string. I tried to set a variable = to %s int, but that
doesn't work. Is there a function I've forgotten about to
convert an integer to a string?

Use str(int). Then use len(). For example, len(str(12345)) will give
you 5.
$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'x=12345' 'len(str(x))' 1000000 loops, best of
3: 1.33 usec per loop
$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'x=12345;from math import ceil,log' 'ceil(log(x,
10))'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.54 usec per loop
$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'x=12345**123' 'len(str(x))' 1000 loops, best of
3: 209 usec per loop
$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'x=12345**123;from math import ceil,log'
'ceil(log(x, 10))'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.55 usec per loop
$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'x=12345**1234' 'len(str(x))' 100 loops, best of
3: 19.2 msec per loop
$ python2.4 -mtimeit -s 'x=12345**1234;from math import ceil,log'
