Python - Use a variable as a list name

Question

I have this code in python.

import sys
list1 = [\"A\", \"B\", \"C\"]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]

myarg = sys.argv[1]
print len(myarg)

I will run thi

Answer 1

Since it is possible, and thought @Lattyware's answer is the correct one, this is how you could do it:

import sys
list1 = ["A", "B", "C"]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]

myarg = sys.argv[1]

print len(globals().get(myarg, []))

If it prints 0, then you have a bad argument on the command line.
