Uck,uck, uck, no...

That's what Kent's post was for...
This will do the trick.


filename = "%s%s.txt" % 
(self.Save_Session.GetValue(),time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M"))
output_file = open(filename,"a")

This uses string formatting, are you familiar with that?

If not -- see here  http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html#l2h-211
remember, if you don't understand--not that you wouldn't--you can always ask 
here.

HTH,
