String concatenation problem

I'm a java guy doing my second Python 'hello world' application.    I'm doing this for GAE, but that probably isn't relevant to this problem.  

I'm trying to build an object and dump object information.  THe error I'm receiving is down annotated with the code.

1.  What's causing this error?  How should I be doing this?

2.  What's the proper (ideal) way to make an object dump information about itself.  I used to use toString() in java.

  def dump():
    s="Text: " + self.fooText
    s+=", Data: " + self.fooData
    return s

  application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage)], debug=True)
  wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(application)
