It's very unlikely that you need to do this.
The usual solution in cases like this is to store the objects 
in a collection object, either a list or a dictionary. You can 
then access them by index or name.

For example:

# create some objects with a list
objects = []
for n in range(5):
    objects.append(n)

# now fetch number 3
print objects[3]

# fetch them all in turn
for object in objects:
    print object

# repeat above with a dictionary
d = {}
for n in range(5):
    name = 'object_' + str(n)
    d[name] = n

# fetch object_3
print d['object_3']

# fetch all
for object in d.keys()
    print d[object]

If that solution won't work for you for some reason tell us 
why and we can provide ways to do what you need. But 
using a collection will work for the vast majority of cases.
