You cannot "populate" a tuple. If you want to insert the values
individually, you have to use a list. If you insert them all together,
like this: bob_apple = (1, 2, ..., 9),

If you put this code within a function, it probably will not work.

I really think you should be using dictionaries

If I have a string, how can I give that string name to a python object,

e.g.
a = 'hello'
b=(1234)
and then a function
name(b) = a
which would mean:
hello=(1234)
is this possible?
You may use another object as a namespace:

That's not a tuple. That's an integer. (1234,) is a tuple.

The thing I'd like to know before answering this is: how will you be
using that name to refer to the object later?

Hi,
thanks for the suggestions. this is my problem:
I have a metadata file that another user defines, and I don't know
their structure in advance. They might have 300+ structures. the
metadata defines the name and the tuple-like structure when read by
python.
my program reads in the metadata fil

Hands off this stuff, bad mojo!
You've been told three very different approaches now, which is a pretty
good indicator that there is no obvious way to do it. Which means
another angle to yo

You can. I just copy/pasted your code and it works fine here. (You are
aware that there is whitespace before locals() that you have to remove
before you feed it to the sn

try
sys.modules[__name__].__dict__[x] = a
But what's the point?

Direct answer:
Look up the setattr() functions (D
Hi,
But this doesn't work if I do:
a=object()
x='bob'
locals()[x] = a
How can I do this?
