Binding and using dynamic names in the global (or function local) namespace
is generally a nuisance.  The standard idiom is to use a separate
dictionary as a namespace for just those items.  Something like

myobs = {}
for datastring in namedata:
    data = datastring.split('/')
    myobs[data[0]] = myclass(*data[1:])
