    <p>is there a way to turn numbers, ether in a string, or an int, into words without loosing leading zero's? I'm trying to convert dates and times and phone numbers into words, but the second I convert the string value into an int I lose my leading zeros. </p> <p>here is my code right now for doing the number to words, and it works great as long as there are no leading zeros. here's an example of my problem... let's say I'm turning a date 08-02-2004 I wan't this to output as zero eight zero two... etc but for me to do that in it's current state I would have to do some round about methods... unless I'm missing something. </p> <pre><code>units = ["", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine "] teens = ["", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen", "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen"] tens = ["", "ten", "twenty", "thirty", "forty", "fifty", "sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety"] thousands = ["","thousand", "million", "billion", "trillion", "quadrillion", "quintillion", "sextillion", "septillion", "octillion", "nonillion", "decillion", "undecillion", "duodecillion", "tredecillion", "quattuordecillion", "sexdecillion", "septendecillion", "octodecillion", "novemdecillion", "vigintillion "] def numToWords(self, num): words = [] if num == 0: words.append("zero") else: numStr = "%d" % num numStrLen = len(numStr) groups = (numStrLen + 2) / 3 numStr = numStr.zfill(groups * 3) for i in range(0, groups*3, 3): h = int(numStr[i]) t = int(numStr[i+1]) u = int(numStr[i+2]) g = groups - (i / 3 + 1) if h &gt;= 1: words.append(units[h]) words.append("hundred") if t &gt; 1: words.append(tens[t]) if u &gt;= 1: words.append(units[u]) elif t == 1: if u &gt;= 1: words.append(teens[u]) else: words.append(tens[t]) else: if u &gt;= 1: words.append(units[u]) if g &gt;= 1 and (h + t + u) &gt; 0: words.append(thousands[g]) return ' '.join([w for w in words]) </code></pre> <p>any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
