Look into Classes class cars: def __init__(self, model, year): self.model = model self.year = year mycar = cars(dodge, 1978)

That's actually impossible: a variable is a representation of a "thing" in memory. Creating a variable in a variable would mean creating a representation of a representation of a "thing" in memory. Once you allow that, why not infinite variable recursion?
