In python how make a variable equal to the sum of two strings?

It keeps saying you need to properly space strings when adding them. I have been trying for a long time but it keeps saying the same things.

strings.py 
name = str('Bob')
subject = "Treehouse loves" + str('Bob')

name = ' Bob'
subject = 'Treehouse Loves' + name

if i were to print subject to the screen it would show 'Treehouse lovesBob' in order to create the space necessary so that is not concatenated to the end of loves you must add a space to ' Bob' when you assign it to name.
