In Python 2.7, you can abbreviate that last one slightly:'{} "{}"'.format(number, word)
Why 2.7? By me also works with 3.3.
Either should be preferred to building the string by hand with + signs. The rule of thumb I use is to say that adding two substrings together is fine, if I need more than one + sign I use a format string. So these would be okay: plural = word + "s" line = sentence + '\n' but anything more complex and I would use % or format().
That's also my rule, except if I use %-strings or format around, I also use it for a single, binary catenation.
