I'm with Etienne. You probably need analysis, not a mechanism for
a solution that you've picked too quickly.
However, if a look-up by name *is* what you need, also consider
dictionaries. After all, in Python, variables are just a
dictionary look-up in a namespace.
In [1]: d1 = {}
In [2]: for idx in range(10):
...: key = 'k%d' % idx
...: d1[key] = idx * 10
...:
...:
In [3]: d1
Out[3]:
{'k0': 0,
'k1': 10,
'k2': 20,
'k3': 30,
'k4': 40,
'k5': 50,
'k6': 60,
'k7': 70,
'k8': 80,
'k9': 90}
