print('</{0} Name="{1}" Password="{2}"/>'.format(method, username, password))

String.format is the preferred way of substituting variables in, nowadays.

You could also use named values:

print('</{method} Name="{username}" Password="{password}/>'.format(method=method, username=username, password=password))

There's even more ways to nicely format strings.

Check out http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.format for more info.

The easiest way to do that would be adding '"' strings inside your function call like this:

def Request(username,password):
    print ('</' + 'Name=' + '"' + username + '"' + ' ' + 'Password=' + '"' + password + '"' +'/>')

You could always use something like:

'</%s Name="%s" Password="%s" />' % (method, username, password)
