Creating dynamically named variables from user input
<p>I'm just learning to program and am learning Python as my first language.  As an exercise I'm trying to write an address book program.  New contact are created by the user using the command prompt.  New contacts are object instances of the Contacts class.</p>

<p>I know how to instantiate a class object from within the code, but how do I create one with a variable name based on user input?  Say I prompt the user for a name -- how do I take that info and use it for the variable name of my new object?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>
