How to get existing pandas dataframe from a string variable?

I have a lot of dataframes which are sequentially named in the format "set1", "set2", "set3" ....

I need to run a for loop across all the dataframes to carry out various operations in this dataframes.

How will I convert the string "set1" to the dataframe set1 so that I can carry out operations like set1.index, set1.columns e.t.c

Depending on whether the variables are located in the global environment or are local to the scope you are working in, you can use

## access global variable by string name
globals()['set1']

## access local variable by string name
locals()['set1']
