Concatenating strings then printing

Question

print ("Tag Value " + i.tags.get('Name'))

gives me:

  File "./boto_test.py", line 19, in main
    print ("Tag Value" + i.tags.get('Name'))
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

What is the correct way to do this?

Answer 1

Or just convert whatever you get from i.tags to string:

print ("Tag Value " + str(i.tags.get('Name')))

Answer 2

i.tags doesn’t contain a 'Name' key. What should the result be for None? Just pass it as a second argument to get:

print ("Tag Value " + i.tags.get('Name', 'None'))
