idea: var(): input var name (str), outputs var value useful for(example in a chess program): >>>count=1 >>>while count<=8: ... var('a', count)='black queen' ... count=count+1

You should propose this to the python-ideas mailing list, but from your description is not clear to me what you want. Can you try to explain it more in detail? Are you asking for a new function that accepts the name of a variable as a string and prints its value? Or for a function that creates dynamically a new "variable name"? If you want to dynamically create variable names, it's better to just use a dictionary instead, e.g.: d = {} for count in range(1, 9): name = 'a' + str(count) d[name] = 'black queen'
