Python - Concat variable output to string

Question

I am trying to concat output of a sql output to a string as below:

dwh_cur.execute("""select name from sales where id = 123""")
name = dwh_cur.fetchone()[0]
a = print(name)
b = str(a) + " is the name of the agent"
print(b)

The above returns

None is the name of the agent

Expected output:

Steve is the name of the agent

Answer 1

a = print(name)

returns None

Try:

b = "{} is the name of the agent".format(name)
