3) No idea what that value is supposed to mean.  Perhaps you intended to
use backslashes here?  And perhaps you meant to omit the zeroes?

It gets a string, not an integer.  And the string will be "1234" once
you fix the problems in the earlier line.

While you're at it, you should pick a better name for your string.  str
already has a meaning in Python, and you're hiding that.  No real harm
other than readability, but it'll be embarrassing when you actually need
to use the str() function and you end up trying to call your string.

Still not sure how to interpret your original message.  You said nothing
about unicode, or conversions.

And I've been assuming you're using Python 2.x, but all this will be
different for 3.x
