python print to execute string literal as part of code

Question

I am using python make some of the SQL queries I have to for my JDBC connections more modular and would like to execute parts of my string literals with print statements.

fh = open("data.txt","w")
print("42 is the answer, but what is the question?", file=fh)
fh.close()

I know I can use this to write to text but I would like to save the outputs of my print in a local variable to call later in other statements.

Is this possible?

Thank you for the edit Wondercricket.
