Python concat list with a string variable
Hello!

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
hn = "simsa-svr"
    for container in containerslist:
        Name = container['Names']

I want to print Name along with hn i,e simsa-svr. I tried like Name = container['Names']'-'.join(hn) did not work.

Needed result:
Code:
lilly2232321-simsa-svr

You are using join wrong in the above example. Join needs a list or tuple of strings:
Code:
>>> '-'.join(('north','east','south','west'))
'north-east-south-west'

Alternatively use the add (+) operator:
Code:
>>> 'Grace' + 'Kelly'
'GraceKelly'

Code:
Name = str(container['Names'])

print str(Name[0])+'-'+hn

But it does print extra / in front of
Code:
/lilly2232321-simsa-svr

How to get rid of it?

Just used this along with Name

Code:
.replace("/","")+

It works.
