Python: EasyGui printing variable to GUI

Question

This may seem a silly question, but how do you print a variable on easygui?

Here is my code:

import easygui as eg
a = 4
eg.msgbox(msg='Hello World',a)

Error is:

SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

I know why I'm getting the error, because eg.codebox is expecting a title = "titleGoesHere"

Anyone know how to get a variable to show next to your string in easygui?

Many thanks.

Use `'Hello Wold '+str(a)` or any other form of string formatting? http://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html — Aleksander Lidtke, Sep 04 '13 at 22:05

If you want the contents of the variable a to be shown after Hello World, try this:

import easygui as eg
a = 4
eg.msgbox(msg='Hello World '+str(a))

In Python the + sign concatenates strings (so 'a'+'bc'='abc') but since a has an integer value, we call the function str which converts the 4 to a '4' so that the + will receive two strings :)

That makes 4 become the title of the Window. EDIT: Second example works perfectly.. Thanks :-) – BubbleMonster Sep 04 '13 at 22:07
