As you noted, the types conflict.  The type of an object is set when it
is assigned.

The Pythonic way to generate a string from multiple values of different
types is with string formatting:

=====
import random
rand_num = random.randrange( 0, 9 )
audio_file = "%s/%d.la" % my_path, rand_num
capisuite.audio_send( call, audio_file )
=====

The '%' is the format operator for strings.

  <http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html>

It returns a new string resulting from interpolating the right-hand-side
values into the left-hand-side format string.
