variable hell

[Adriaan Renting]

Not in my Python.

>>> for count in range(0, 10):
...     value = count
...     exec("'a%s=%s' % (count, value)")
... 
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'count', 'value']
>>> for count in range(0, 10):
...     value = count
...     exec(eval("'a%s=%s' % (count, value)"))
... 
>>> dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'a0', 'a1', 'a2', 'a3', 'a4', 'a5', 'a6', 'a7', 'a8', 'a9', 'count', 'value']
>>> 

I myself use code like this to load user defined classes.
            exec(eval("'from %s import %s' % (script, script)"))
            exec(eval("'self.user_class = %s()' % script"))
            self.user_class.run()

But this can probably be done with the imp module too.

why using the eval? 
 
exec ('a%s=%s' % (count, value)) 
 
should be fine
