Well, it's simple.  See the following exercise:

bash-2.05b$ python
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Sep 11 2003, 08:34:13)
[GCC 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> a = 'b'
>>> globals()[a] = 'c'
>>> print a, b
b c
