If I have:
list1 = [1, 2, 3]
x = "list1"
How do I use x to find the value in list1?
Since type(x) = <class str> and list(x) = ["l","i","s","t","1"]
Casting a string from string type to list type

Usually considered a bad style, but you can use globals()
list1 = [1, 2, 3]
x = "list1"
globals()[x]
What you could do instead is create a mapping-dictionary and use .get() to access the list like that:
mapping = {"list1": [1, 2, 3]}
mapping.get(x)
