beginners syntax question

[logistix]

If you really need to do this with strings, and can't make a list like the
others suggested, use a dictionary to translate strings to objects.  Python
also provides two builtin functions global() and local() that return the
respective global and local namespace dictionaries.

>>> x,y = 1,2
>>> globals()
{'__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>,
 '__doc__': None,
 '__name__': '__main__',
 'pprint': <function pprint at 0x01508790>,
 'pywin': <module 'pywin' from
'C:\PYTHON22\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\__init__.pyc'>,
 'x': 1,
 'y': 2}
