You should use the .format() method, i.e.:

some_string = "Rainbows"
another_string = "unicorns"
third_string = "{} and {}!".format(some_string, another_string)     #third_string is "Rainbows and unicorns!"

Of course, you can replace the content of the string variables with whatever you want!

The '{}' becomes the insertion point for the corresponding argument (i.e., first argument into the first {}, second into the second {} etc.). Also, it can be worth to notice that the arguments don't HAVE to be strings, and that you can use for example integer variables, float variables and, to my knowledge, any kind of class object you would care to!
