TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'type' objects
Question: Before I get to my issue, I have searched around for an answer but cannot seem
to find anything specific to my case.

Ok, basically I call my script via cmd and pass in 16 args and use them to set
some variables I have. I am creating a custom html report for our company use.
These variables I just use to dynamically set the values I want where they are
in html string. The error I get is:

    
    
    >>> python -u "htmltest.py" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "htmltest.py", line 162, in <module>
    <TD STYLE="border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-   left: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000" COLSPAN=3 ALIGN=LEFT  VALIGN=BOTTOM SDNUM="1033;0;0.000000"><FONT FACE="Calibri" COLOR="#000000">"""+C9+"""</FONT></TD>
    TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'type' objects
    >>> Exit Code: 1
    

I have tried removing some of the variables like C9 etc to see what it does
but it just errors on the one previous to that so I assume I have to make the
variables the same as how I am doing my string?

The code is:

    
    
    import sys
    import datetime
    #for each arg sent we can set each value starting at 2 since 1 is the actual name of  the script
    
    CalFixUsed = sys.argv[1]
    StationNumber = sys.argv[2]
    Operator = sys.argv[3]
    MMCalDueDate = sys.argv[4]
    MMEquipID = sys.argv[5]
    MBCalDueDate = sys.argv[6]
    MeterBoxID = sys.argv[7]
    C1 = sys.argv[8]
    C2 = sys.argv[9]
    C3 = sys.argv[10]
    C4 = sys.argv[11]
    C5 = sys.argv[12]
    C6 = sys.argv[13]
    C7 = sys.argv[14]
    C8 = sys.argv[15]
    C9 = sys.argv[16]
    
    filename = "Daily Verification Test.html" 
    today = datetime.date

Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this?

Thanks.


Answer: 
    today = datetime.date
    

sets `today` to the type `datetime.date`. Most likely, you want to set it to
an object of type `datetime.date`, like this:

    
    
    today = datetime.date(2012, 4, 16)
    # or, to always get the current day
    today = datetime.datetime.now().date()
    

You'll also need to generate a string from that date object. You can do that
with [`str`](http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#str):

    
    
        """...""" + str(today) + """..."""
    

If you want another representation, have a look at
[`datetime.date.isoformat`](http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime.date.isoformat)
and
[`datetime.date.strftime`](http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime.date.strftime).
