That is not a syntax error. It is a type error. You cannot add a file
object and a string object together.
Please inspect the value of dumpfile. You are treating it as if it were a
string, but it looks like it is an open file object. I think that you
probably expect this:
dumpfile = "path to some file"
tarfile.open(dumpfile + '.tar.gz','w:gz')
but what you actually have is probably something like this:
dumpfile = open("path to some file")
tarfile.open(dumpfile + '.tar.gz','w:gz')
