It depends on the type of data and how you intend to use it.

'johnmike'
>>> ' '.join([adam, 'fred'])
'johnmike fred'
>>>
>>> adam = "john"
>>> adam += "mike"
>>> adam
'johnmike'
>>> ' '.join([adam, 'fred'])
'johnmike fred'

If you want to do that to an int and you just want to add it on the end then you could go:

>>> adam = 123
>>> john = 456
>>> #if you just add them together they don't add on to the end, 
>>> print adam+john
579
>>> print str(adam)+str(john)
123456
>>> # and then you can turn that back into an int using the int() function
>>> adam = 123
>>> john = 456
>>> #if you just add them together they don't add on to the end, 
>>> print adam+john
579
>>> print str(adam)+str(john)
123456
>>> # and then you can turn that back into an int using the int() function
