Python Concatenate String and Function

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.

You can use

var= "string" + str(function())

example

a="this is best"
s="number of chars. in a " + str(len(a))
print(s)

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__

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

b="MyFunction"+myFunction()
