sendLine Won't Send integers (Twisted Python)

Question

I'm writing a MUD in Python using the Twisted library. I'm currently trying to send a integer through the sendLine method via to the LineReceiver module. However, whenever I try sending a integer I get the below error message while running my program:

Unhandled Error

exceptions.TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

The line which is causing the error is:

self.sendLine(SomeVarWhichIsANumber)

Answer 1

so... send a string:

self.sendLine(str(SomeVarWhichIsANumber))
