How to avoid exec(), globals(), locals(), eval()

[paul18fr]

You don't say why you want to do this in the first place.

I guess you're right; in the case I'm currently working on, I'm facing to different difficulties:

• for a function (i.e. as argument), I need to provide a list of dictionnaries
  
• Dictionnaries names have been previously (dynamically) reccorded in a list, and I cannot use explicit names and numbers accordingly (but use a variable instead)
  
• in the main code, I'm using exec(s) to replace the name by its variable; if a want to rewrite it in a function, well "goto" item 1
  

can't you just use a dictionary to map the names to the dictionaries?

Well it seems I do not know how to proceed

Thanks for your interest
