How to use string value as a variable name in Python? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use globals() like so:

for e in globals()[name]:
    print(e)

Output:

d
e
f

And if your variables happen to be in some local scope you can use locals()

OR you can create your dictionary and access that:

d = {'candy': candy, 'fruit': fruit, 'snack': snack}
name = 'fruit'

for e in d[name]:
    print(e)
