Labeling with Python

I have a screenshot of the Python script I'm trying to create and I'm having a problem. How do I create a space between two values? I know how to stack labels but I just need a simple space between the port field and the fibers field. Can anyone help me with this?!

>>> a = "text" + " " + "more"
>>> a
'text more'
>>> # or
>>> a = "{} {}".format("text","more")

Dan mentioned there's many ways to do this - I thought I'd share another!

>>> myVars = ["spam","eggs"]
>>> " ".join(myVars)
'spam eggs'

Are you inserting this into a Python script and having the script label the features?

If so, could you please share. I've been stuck on this problem for a while now.

more.... python mini-format language plus triple quote syntax... useful for printing.

>>> a = "{}\n{}".format("over","under")
>>> b = """
... hello
... goodbye
... """
>>>
>>> print a
over
under
>>>
>>> print b
hello
goodbye
