variable hell

[Adriaan Renting]

I was responding to rafi's suggestion, I had not received the "exec 'a%s = %s' % (count,count)" response yet at that time. The "exec 'a%s = %s' % (count,value)" works fine.

You did not copy the suggestion properly: 
 
>>>for count in range(0, 10): 
...   exec 'a%s = %s' % (count,count) 
... 
>>>dir() 
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'a0', 'a1', 'a2', 
'a3', 'a4', 'a5', 'a6', 'a7', 'a8', 'a9', 'count'] 
>>>a5 
5 
 
(you can put additional parentheses around the string, but not 
additional quotation marks)
