how accomplish variable variables in python?

here elaborative manual entry, instance: variable variables

i have heard bad idea in general though, , security hole in python. true?

use dictionaries accomplish this. dictionaries stores of keys , values.

>>> dct = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3} >>> dct {'y': 2, 'x': 1, 'z': 3} >>> dct["y"] 2

you can use variable key names achieve effect of variable variables without security risk.
