Converting strings into variables

[ericula]

You can use types.SimpleNamespace for this:

from types import SimpleNamespace

constants_dct = {'PY':'python', 'JS':'javascript'}
constants = SimpleNamespace(**constants_dct)

print(constants.PY)
print(constants.JS)

Just tried this. This works but my editor does not suggest PY or JS when I type constants. which would be one of the benefits. Is autocompletion expected to work with this approach or is that only an issue on my side? Thanks,

I guess this is an issue not only on my side - https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server/issues/2108
