get_variable()

This function can be used to dynamically obtain a variable. res = get_variable(varname, fallback) takes the value of varname (which must be a string) and stores the variable of that name into res. If the variable does not exist, the variable fallback is stored to resinstead. If a fallback is not specified, then attempting to read a non-existing variable will cause a fatal error.
