cannot concatenate 'str' and 'instance'

Question

I have a program using GUI elements and returns the error ``` cannot concatenate 'str' and 'instance' objects ``` The Code is: ``` def PeopleSearch(): query = SearchTerm query = ('what is '+ query) string = (" " + query + '

Accepted Answer

Let me reproduce with a simpler example:

```
v = 42
query = ('what is ' + v)
```

You would get:

```
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
```

But now, if you simply call `str`:

```
query = ('what is ' + str(v))
```

That will work. So you only have to make sure `str(query)` returns what you expect. Be careful, I don't know what kind of object you are manipulating, but you should check if there is any method to get the string representation of it.

- Python: TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

- Cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects

- TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'type' objects

cannot concatenate 'str' and 'instance'
