dear Jeanpierre,
sorry, no.
for >>>count1=3,
    var('count1') or var(str('count',1)) will output 3
in fact, it is even better to use libraries,
and it was stupid to send the first email before trying an other way.
sorry.

This is underspecified. What should it do for this code?

count = 3
def foo():
    print var('count', 1)
foo()

If the output is "1", then you're in luck and can already use
vars().get('count', 1)

Otherwise, I don't know a trivial one-liner to do it. Either way I'd
be -1 on its inclusion in Python, it encourages a bad idiom.
