Is there a way in Python to cat a string and a function?
For example
def myFunction():
a=(str(local_time[0]))
return a
b="MyFunction"+myFunction
I get an error that I cannot concatenate a 'str' and 'function' object.

There are two possibilities:
If you are looking for the return value of myfunction, then:
print 'function: ' + myfunction()
If you are looking for the name of myfunction then:
print 'function: ' + myfunction.__name__

I want to cll the function like b="MyFunction"+myFunction(), sorry, I missed the () above. I am used to C++. I want to run the function in the statement declaring b, is that possible? I can do it if I run myFunction() outside of declaring b but I want to do it during that declaration, is it possible in python?

Calling the function will return a string. See the code here: ideone.com/UCUMgO.
You need to call your function so that it actually returns the value you are looking for:
b="MyFunction"+myFunction()

@user2295959, it worked for me... Did you notice the parenthesis?
You can use
var= "string" + str(function())
example
a="this is best"
s="number of chars. in a " + str(len(a))
print(s)
myFunction()here?__name__with myFunction and then concatenate them. (stackoverflow.com/a/255297/758446)
