use var to form name of object

[gel]

Hi
I would like to pass a variable in and use it as part of a name of an
object, something like below, where I pass the variable software into
the function and use it as part of the name of the object so that I can
append to it using the other vairables.  Any suggestions?


    def a_d(self,software,mac,time,extra):
        global d_software
        d_software.software.append([mac,time,extra])
