python convert string list into a dataframe list

Question

I have a list of string dataframes that I want to turn into a list of dataframes.

temp_df = {}
temp_df['mdf1'] = df1[df1['b']<=0.4]
temp_df['mdf2'] = df1[df1['a']<=0.58]

def get_list(temp_df):
    return [*temp_df]

temp_list = get_list(temp_df)

temp_list

Doing this I get the stringed list:

output: ['mdf1', 'mdf2']

However, I also want a list of the two dataframes itself. For the desirable output of:

output: [mdf1, mdf2]

I've tried this but it doesn't give me what I want:

temp_df.keys()

output: dict_keys(['mdf1', 'mdf2'])

Answer 1

Check with locals then

variables = locals()
variables["mdf1"] = df1[df1['b']<=0.4]
variables["mdf2"] = df1[df1['a']<=0.58]
