No - and given that you could do
--- module.py ---
import random
for i in xrange(random.randint(10, 100)):
globals()["FOO%i" % i] = "hallo"
--- module.py ---
there is not a chance of such a tool being more than a heuristic. Such
things only work in a static typed world where you know the number of
declarations.
