Let's say I have something like

year = 2017

How do I declare a new variable, like sales_2017 except the suffix is based on the variable year?

For example, something like sales_{year}.format(year=year) except that would be the syntax for a string, not a variable.

Not a good idea. Use a dictionary. – zondo Mar 02 '16 at 20:53
Why? the variable name isn't very useful, were you looking for a dictionary? – Sayse Mar 02 '16 at 20:53
