Well, the first line you mention above, the URL itself should have been 
in quotes. However I assume you actually did so and just didn't type 
them into the email since otherwise you'd have a syntax error! At any 
rate, you need to figure out what exactly "mlist" is. Since it says it's 
an "instance" that means it's an instance of a class, and not a string. 
So... If this sounds correct, then you'll need to simply use this instead:

url = "http://www.isu.edu" + str(mlist)

You'll probably need to define the __str__ method if it's not defined 
already in your class.
