I'm using Jython (actually WebLogic WLST), and trying to do something really simple. I want to create a string from two function calls and a literal, like: serverport = server.getListenAddress() + ':' + server.getListenPort() This complains: TypeError: __add__ nor __radd__ defined for these o

Re: Providing 'default' value with raw_input()?

Re: Python IMAP4 Memory Error
