How to fix "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s)"?

I'm trying to use var value in file.write function:

profile = open("/tmp/%s.pcf", 'w+') % uid

and I get this error:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'file' and 'str'

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Try this:

profile = open("/tmp/%s.pcf" % uid, 'w+')

You need the string format inside

profile = open("/tmp/%s.pcf" % uid, 'w+')

Move the string formatting operand to the string itself:

profile = open("/tmp/%s.pcf" % uid, 'w+')

You were trying to apply it to the result of the open() call, which is a file.
