names of parameters as string

[Jean Brouwers]

The simplest thing to do would be to make the variable an attribute of
a class instance.

  class Vars: pass
   # create one instance
  v = Vars()
   # add vars as needed
  v.text = "text"
  v.int = 12
  ...
  print v.text, v.int

Is this what you need?
