Python, how can I concatenate 2 variables and create a name pointing to 3rd variable

I would like to reduce my code and eliminate 3 if statements by joining together, in an if statement, 2 variables that if printed would create the name pointing to a 3rd variable.

Currently I have 3 if statements that look like this:

if prd.lower() not in retentions_log:

I would like to use something like:

if prd.lower() not in retentions_+prd.lower:

So every time the function is called It would construct the 3rd variable

retentions+prd.lower = retentnions_log

This is one of the functions:

retentinon_approval_log = "SOME_VALUE"

def ret_handler_log(roletype, prd, pth, fnm, location):#                    [retention_proc]
    """Processors. 4Writing results to file."""
    if prd in retentinon_approval_log:
        if approval_check(roletype, prd, pth) == False:
            try:
                results_o.write("some_text")
            except Exception as e:
                print(e)
                pass
        else:
            yaml_dumper(roletype, prd, location)
            results_o.write("some_text")
    else:
        yaml_dumper(roletype, prd, location)

Update I'd like to be able to construct "retentinon_approval_+prd" retentions approval being simple text and prd being "log". To construct a variable "retentinon_approval_log" that points to "some text" and dynamically generate this with different values that are being passed to this function

You may use a dictionary to build variables. Example.

d={'var1':10, 'var2':20}

d['var1'+'var2'] = d['var1'] + d['var2'] #{'var1': 10, 'var2': 20, 'var1var2': 30}
