* Raphael Mayoraz:
Hello,
I'd like to define variables with some specific name that has a common
prefix.
Something like this:
varDic = {'red': 'a', 'green': 'b', 'blue': 'c'}
for key, value in varDic.iteritems():
'myPrefix' + key = value
I know this is illegal, but there must be a trick somewhere.
In general you'll IMHO be better off with the variables as attributes of an
object.
If you want them to be modifiable then you can do
class Whatever: pass
myPrefix = Whatever()
myPrefix.a = 'a'
myPrefix.b = 'b'
myPrefix.c = 'c'
If you want them to be sort of constants (weasel words intentional) then you
might do (Python 3.x) -- disclaimer: off-the-cuff & I'm not sure if that
function is called 'namedtuple' but I think you'll find it anyway --
import collections
Color = namedtuple( "Color", "red green blue" )
myPrefix = Color( 'a', 'b', 'c' )
Cheers & hth.,
