Well, when do you understand that your MySQL problems have nothing to do 
with Python?

Everything inside the triple quotes is MySQL specific, so it's a MySQL 
problem whether you can use + to "add an extra string to an already 
existing array of strings(list)".

This list is not a MySQL support forum.
