Equivalent of TCL's "subst" ?

[gamename]

Hi,

In TCL, you can do things like:
set foobar "HI!"
set x foo
set y bar
subst $$x$y
HI!

Is there a way to do this type of evaluation in python?

TIA,

If this is at the outer-most scope, you can use globals()::

>>> foobar = 'HI!'
>>> x = 'foo'
>>> y = 'bar'
>>> globals_dict = globals()
>>> globals_dict[x + y]

'HI!'

That said, why do you think you want to do this?

myStore={}

x='foo'
y='bar'
print myStore[x+y]
