I was trying to figure out if a had a string such as a= 'TEMP' and create a second variable which has the name TEMP which I would assign a corresponding value to. The problem is that I want to have 'TEMP' vary in a loop or as part of a function without have to manually assign it.

Don't do it!
What if the variable name is 'size' or 'sum' or something useful and you overwrite a needed builtin function?
