print >> htmlFile, ('<div id="track' + unicode(1) + '" style="width: 200px; height:18px;">') Or even better: print >> htmlFile, (u'<div id="track%s" ' u'style="width: 200px; height:18px;">') % unicode(1) The unicode(1) confuses me -- you are converting an integer to its string representation in unicode (do you know that?), not picking a particular character. print >> htmlFile, (u'<div id="track%d" style="width: 200px; ' u'height:18px;">') % (1,) And if you don't mean to be writing unicode, you could use: print >> htmlFile, ('<div id="track%d" style="width: 200px; ' 'height:18px;">') % (1,) --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
