Suggesting a dictionary here is right.
The technique in the original poster's question is deprecated and widely
known to be a Bad Idea in Perl. See Mark Jason Dominus's "Why it's stupid
to use a variable as a variable name':
http://perl.plover.com/varvarname.html
So trying to simulate soft references in Python is damaging: we should do
what we can to keep the idea from propagating. *grin*
