hello, i have a string variable that  contains a name that I want to use as a variablename
putting aside questions of why I would like to do that - i this possible at all?

so I want to assign a value to a variable whos name is available only as a string to me.
that variable does not exist yet in the local namespace.

from: t = "myvar"
to: myvar = 3

is this possible? something like setattr?
thanks for any insight you might have
-frank
