Help on built-in function getattr:

getattr(...)
    getattr(object, name[, default]) -> value

    Get a named attribute from an object; getattr(x, 'y') is equivalent 
to x.y.
    When a default argument is given, it is returned when the attribute 
doesn't
    exist; without it, an exception is raised in that case.

from http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html

*getattr*( 	object, name[, default])

    Return the value of the named attributed of object. name must be a
    string. If the string is the name of one of the object's attributes,
    the result is the value of that attribute. For example, |getattr(x,
    'foobar')| is equivalent to |x.foobar|. If the named attribute does
    not exist, default is returned if provided, otherwise AttributeError
    is raised. 

#---------------------------

LIST = 1
POSITION = 2

getattr(GameLogic, 'varList'+str(LIST))[POSITION] = 0
