Python: EasyGui printing variable to GUI

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.

Solution

  • 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 :)
