You could store arrays associated with string names, or other identifiers, (as opposed to integer indices) in a python dict. Global and local namespaces are also just dicts that you can grab with globals() and locals(), if you really want to look up variable names algorithmically, but I promise you that this is really not what you want to be doing.
