Cleaning up print command

I am using this line of code:

fwhost1 = "172.16.17.1"
print("Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for:", fwhost1)

The output from this line is:

('Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for:', '172.16.17.1')

I am looking to not have the parenthesis and the single quotes appear on the output while the script is running.

Thank you

I have tried adjusting the line of code but this is the only way it will run without an error

You can use the + operator to concatenate strings. More info here

fwhost1 = "172.16.17.1" 
print("Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for: " + fwhost1)

Here's another way of printing using %-formatting

print("Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for: %s" % fwhost1)

Another option is using str.format()

print("Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for: {}".format(fwhost1))

If you're using Python 3, you can use f-strings

print(f"Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for: {fwhost1}")

Output

Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for: 172.16.17.1

A more pythonic way is to use format function over strings

fwhost1 = "172.16.17.1"
print ("Connecting via API call, backing up the configuration for:{}".format(fwhost1))
