  Unfortunately, "-" is not allowed in identifiers in Python, so what you
want is impossible.

  What you can do, however, is create a dict.

      d = {}
      for i in range(len(MemberList)):
          d['GroupA-%c' % (i + ord('A'))] = Group(MemberList[i])

  And you never even need to use exec ;)
