[Python] How can I use a variable for my skipTranslate argument within my parentConstraint...

I am trying to use a variable for my skipTranslate argument in my parentConstraint command in Maya. What I want is for "x" to be inserted into the skipTranslate argument by my variable "test"....

test='"x"'
cmds.parentConstraint ('pCube1','locator1',st=[test])


This does not work though as I get a Runtime Error stating that the argument is invalid as the argument must be x, y or z.

If I write in "x" myself to the arg it works, but I need to have it be filled in by a variable for the larger tool to work...is there a way to do this?

I am very new and teaching myself so I appreciate any help. Thank you
