   I've always been puzzled by these schemes.  Sure, you can
do these assignments, if you try hard enough, but then you
also need other source code in your program that's aware of
the new names.  How do you plan to refer to these buttons in
the rest of your program?

   If it were my code it would be

    self.subject_buttons = []
    for x in range (nbSujets):
        b = xbmcgui.ControlButton (50, 100, 40, 30, "B"+str(x) )
        self.addControl (b)
        self.subject_buttons.append (b)

and access a specific button from the list after that.
