We see requests for this a lot, and the response that's frequently missed  
amongst all the technical trickery is "What on earth makes you think that  
defining variables programatically will help?"  Usually the sensible thing  
is to collect such "variables" into a list or dictionary, since that's the  
only way you're going to access them safely without a whole heap more  
technical trickery.
