Question

I am trying to create multable pyGtk objects with different names based on a list

    for objects in object_list:
        self.'%s'_entry % objects.upper() = gtk.Entry(max=0) 
        self.vbox_entry.add(self.'%s'_entry % objects.upper())

File “gtk test.py”, line 113
self.’%s’_entry % objects.upper() = gtk.Entry(max=0)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is this possible. If not is there another way to do what i want to do?

Make your life easier and just use a list.

self.entries = [gtk.Entry(max=0) for objects in object_list]
for entry in self.entries:
  self.vbox_entry.add(entry)
