Python Concatenate String and Function

Question

Is there a way in Python to cat a string and a function?

For example

def myFunction():
    a=(str(local_time[0]))
    return a

b="MyFunction"+myFunction

I get an error that I cannot concatenate a 'str' and 'function' object.

Answer 1

There are two possibilities:

If you are looking for the return value of myfunction, then:

print 'function: ' + myfunction() 

If you are looking for the name of myfunction then:

print 'function: ' + myfunction.__name__ 

Answer 2

You need to call your function so that it actually returns the value you are looking for:

b="MyFunction"+myFunction()
