I suspect there is some "misunderstanding" here.  Why exactly do you think you 
need to have your instances named with [] characters in them?


You could put them in a dictionary:

instances = {}

instance['[at0000']] = ClassA0()


but that isn't really different than:

instance['at0000'] = ClassA0()
