how to convert a string into a variable name in python

Question

If

   FRUIT_VAR_NAME = '/abc/{}' 
   VEGETABLE_VAR_NAME = '/bcd/{}'
   def mathod(prefix):   
      path = '{}_VAR_NAME'.format(prefix)   
      value_path = path.format('mno')   
      print(value_path)

How to get the answer as /abc/mno when prefix is FRUIT_VAR_NAME and /bcd/mno when prefix = VEGETABLE_VAR_NAME

Don't. Use a dict instead. – user2357112 Jan 30 '21 at 00:43 — user2357112, Jan 30 '21 at 00:43
Use the exec() function. – Ruben Medrano Jan 30 '21 at 00:57 — Ruben Medrano, Jan 30 '21 at 00:57

Try this instead. You were mistakingly putting the string '/abc/{}' inside of the braces of '{}_VAR_NAME'

FRUIT_VAR_NAME = '/abc/{}' 
VEGETABLE_VAR_NAME = '/bcd/{}'

def mathod(prefix):   
    value_path = prefix.format('mno')   
    print(value_path)
