Is it possible to make a string become a variable?

Question

Is it possible to convert a string to a variable?

For example:

a = b = c = 0
my_list = ["a", "b", "c"]

# any function or module to change my_list to below

my_list = [a, b, c]

Answer 1

You can use eval() for referencing variables with their names as string as follows:

a = b = c = 0
my_list = ["a", "b", "c"]

#any function or module to change my_list to below

my_list = [eval(i) for i in my_list]
print(my_list)

Output

[0, 0, 0]
