Whenever you are tempted to create dynamically variables names, 99% of the time what you really want is a data structure, typically a dict or a list. In your example, a list will do: x=number xyz_objects = [ClassXYZ(...,x+i,...) for i in xrange(500)] #.... code y=number aaaa_objects = [ClassAAAA(object_called_by_the_string(xyz,...) for xyz in xyz_objects[:y]] If you can't figure out what this does, lookup for "list comprehensions". By the way, I hope these were shortened examples and you're not actually using names such as 'ClassAAAA' or 'ClassXYZ' in your actual code...
