I would like to change part of a title to be bold. For example:
plt.title("This is title number: " + str(number))
Given a title like the above, how would I bold the str(number) part.

Method 1
From matplotlib version 2 on,
there is no need to use latex (which would require a working latex installation). One can use normal MathText to render part of the title in bold.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
number = 2017
plt.title("This is title number: " + r"$bf{" + str(number) + "}$")
plt.show()
Method 2
activate latex text rendering
from matplotlib import rc
rc('text', usetex=True)
plt.title("This is title number: " + r"textbf{" + str(number) + "}")
Method 3
This post should answer your question on manipulating the title. You can use latex text rendering and call textbf for that particular part of the string.
