Python type as a string

I'm attempting to display a string that provides the type of a given variable.

When I try the following: 

'This is a '+str(type(somevariable))

the output is "This is a <type 'float'>", instead of "This is a float".

How do I get the output I want?

'This is a ' + type(somevariable).__name__

somevariable.__class__.__name__

is one way.
