I am trying to print the value of preset1 not the word preset1 and I can't make it do that.

print 'value%d' %(y)

this is printing:

value1

I have defined the value1 earlier which i was hoping to acquire.

value1 = decoded['options'][0] # this is in unicode

Don't use 'dynamic variables'. Use a dictionary or list instead (`values = {'value1': decoded['options'][0]}`, then `print values['value{}'.format(y)]`, for example). – Martijn Pieters Jan 08 '15 at 17:08
Yes, I guess I have to just do that. I ended up just using list. thanks. – guylifestyle Jan 08 '15 at 18:00
