Re: how to prepend string to a string?

Thanks for all the responses :)

You're right, Kent. That does exactly what I need it to.

Anyways.. if there isn't a prepend function, I'm going to request it
from the devs. Would be cool to see that in future versions of python.

Since strings cannot be modified in-place (they are "immutable"), the concept of prepend for a string is meaningless (and so is append). Instead, you simply build a new string from other bits, and it's entirely up to you which comes first and which comes second (thus providing implementations equivalent to prepend or append, as you need).
