Python - Printing arrays using For Loop

You could do this with exec(). Also your range() should have an upper bound of your max value plus one. The upper bound is not inclusive.

for i in range(1, 4):
    exec(f'print(temp{str(i)})')

Output:

[[7, 2, 4], [5, 0, 6], [8, 3, 1]]
[[1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1]]
[[2, 2, 2], [2, 2, 2], [2, 2, 2]]

You can use eval(). It allows you to get a variable by name.

for i in range(1, 4):
    current_array = eval(f'temp{i}')
    print(current_array)

But, I advise you to set this part of code to the try/except block because you can have NameError exception. And your code will look like:

for i in range(1, 4):
    variable_name = f"temp{i}"

    try:
        current_array = eval(variable_name)
        print(current_array)
    except NameError:
        print(f"Can not get variable with {variable_name} name")

I notice that this is your requirement:

... where print(arrayName) prints out the actual array instead of a string

If so, you could use the following simplified design pattern:

arrays = [array1, array2, array3]
for array in arrays: 
    print(array)

And, in modification of your code, so that print() will 'print out the actual array instead of a string':

temp1 = [[7, 2, 4],
         [5, 0, 6],
         [8, 3, 1]]

temp2 = [[1, 1, 1],
         [1, 1, 1],
         [1, 1, 1]]

temp3 = [[2, 2, 2],
         [2, 2, 2],
         [2, 2, 2]]

temps = [temp1, temp2, temp3]

for i in temps:
    print(i)

Some further thoughts:

1. I would avoid the eval() or exec() Python methods as suggested by the other commenters. Simpler solutions are possible; you do not have a concrete reason to use dynamic execution.

2. There is a cleaner way to refactor your code, but I am providing the above answer that mirrors your code structure more directly so as to avoid confusion.
