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

That's not a tuple. That's an integer. (1234,) is a tuple.
and then a function
name(b) = a
which would mean:
hello=(1234)
is this possible?

You may use another object as a namespace:

pete_red=()
I then populate the 9 tuples with data they provide

I really think you should be using dictionaries here.

Depends on your namespace, but for the local namespace, you can use this:
py a = object()
py a
object object at 0x40077478
py locals()['bob'] = a
py bob
object object at 0x40077478
If you put this code within a

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), you
Hi,
If I have a string, how can I give that string name to a python object,
such as a tuple.
e.g.
a = 'hello'
b=(1234)
and then a function
name(b) = a
which would mean:
hello=(1234)
is this possible?

Hi,
But this doesn't work if I do:
a=object()
x='bob'
locals()[x] = a
How can I do this?

Direct answer:
Look up the setattr() functions (DO look it up!).

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 snake?)

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

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
