Pass a variable in another variable

Question

Dynamically set local variable in Python

I tried to execute this :

        # the request send a number and its ok, the variable have good informations.
        test = request.POST[member.user.username]

        # SyntaxError at ***here***, can't assign to operator
        group%d % test = member.user.username

I have tried also :

        test = request.POST[member.user.username]
        group%d = member.user.username % test

And :

        test = request.POST[member.user.username]
        group%d = member.user.username % (test)

Any idea for the syntax ?

What are you trying to achieve whith "group%d" ? The common syntax for formatted strings is: `result = format % (var1, var2)`. — ldiqual, Jul 19 '12 at 20:29

You can use dictionnary to do this:

test = request.POST[member.user.username]
d={}
d['group'+str(test)]= member.user.username

Maybe, there is a better way to do that, but I only know this one.

It doesn't work with me.. I have found another solution to avoid variable variables :) – nlassaux Jul 19 '12 at 22:59
