Python code - Combining strings with variables

Question

I Have the code:

self.bussTrack = Label(self.frame, text="Buss left:", self.buss, height=1, width=2, font = ("Arial",36))
self.bussTrack.pack()

The problem is with the text="Buss left:", self.buss bit where I am combining a string and a initialiser variable & python does not allow me to go ahead.

Can somebody help me point the error that print Black

Try this:

self.bussTrack = Label(self.frame, text="Buss left: %s" % self.buss, height=1, width=2, font = ("Arial",36))
self.bussTrack.pack()

You can asign variables to a string with the operator %, %s means is parsed to string

In [1]: string = "hello %s" % "world"

In [2]: print string
hello world

I thought about `text="Buss left: " + str(self.buss)`, but yours is better – Morb Apr 29 '15 at 08:09
