newbie - insert variable in pathname

| Hello all,
| I have a username variable luser:
| 
| luser = win32api.GetUserName
| 
| I need to insert it into the following to replace the hardcoded
| "johndoe" in the pathname of GIS.GIS.Parcels:
| 
| GIS_GIS_Parcels = "Database
| Connections\\johndoe at GIS_srv-earth.sde\\GIS.GIS.Cadastral\\GIS
| .GIS.Parcels"

Just in case that's real code you've posted, you
should have:

luser = win32api.GetUserName () # note the brackets

otherwise you're simply binding the function
object to the name luser and not the result of
calling it.

But as to your actual question, you want to do something
like this:

x = "GIS_GIS_blah_blah\\%s at GIS_blah_blah" % luser

ie use %s within a string as a placeholder for the luser
string.
