Maya python : TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found

Question

I'm trying to make a little script for batch rending for maya and every time I have this error at the line for i in xrange((startFrame)+"," +(endFrame) + int(1)): : in Batch # TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found

the code :

def Batch(ignore): # Settings startFrame = cmds.textField (myStart, query=True, text=True) endFrame = cmds.textField (myEnd, query=True, text=True) Camera = cmds.textField (myCamera,query=True, text=True) for i in xrange((startFrame)+"," +(endFrame) + int(1)): maya.cmds.currentTime(i) mel.eval('execRmanMenuItem("Render");') editor = 'renderView'

I'll be very thankful if someone could help me.

try .format() with {} that should coerce a type to string. if you're on python 3.6 f-strings do the same as .format() method. + are never good on strings — Evgeny

Python xrange takes ints as parameters not strings,

This should solve it:

for i in xrange(int(startFrame), int(endFrame)+1): ...
