simply forget such tricks! Do not stuff arbitrary data into your global
namespace (Or what will you do, when one of those pretties are called
"str" or "SystemExit"? ;-)

E.g. you can put it into a list (or a dictionary of dictionaries or
whatever suits your purpose best):

data = [{'name':'Betty', 'haircolor':'Blonde', 'role':'Student'},
         {'name': 'Veron', 'haircolor':'Brunett', 'role':'Student'},
         {'name': 'Ginge', 'haircolor':'Redhea', 'role':'Castawa'},
         {'name': 'Marya', 'haircolor':'Brunett', 'role':'Castawa'},
       ]
