f time and so I would have to somehow convert a string to be used as variable. Of course, I can create a dictionary to keep track of which variable has what name and this method of using exec should be avoid if at all possible. I am just trying to understand the language and see what it can do.

How do I do this? (eval() on the left hand side)

I am new to the Python language. How do I do something like this: I know that a = 3 y = "a" print eval(y) would give me a print out of 3 - but how do I do something to the effect of: eval(y) = 4# hopefully the value of a gets changed to 4 ?? Thanks,
