No i have never written an interpreter and i can just imagine how much
work/effort is needed to write something like that.

If anyone can provide a suggestion to replicate the following Tcl
command in Python, i would greatly appreciate it.

namespace eval foo {
    variable bar 12345
}

what this does is create a namespace foo with the variable bar set to
12345.

The code provided by Peter Otten is a good start for me. Cheers for
that!
