Do you want to do this?:

>>> locals()
{'__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, '__name__':
'__main__', 'pywin': <module 'pywin' from 'C:\Python25\Lib\site-
packages\pythonwin\pywin\__init__.pyc'>, '__doc__': None}
>>> locals()['var'+str(1)] = "spam"
>>> locals()
{'__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, '__name__':
'__main__', 'var1': 'spam', 'pywin': <module 'pywin' from 'C:
\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\__init__.pyc'>, '__doc__':
None}
>>> var1
'spam'
