how do I create output raster files in arcpy?

Ok, call me names, but I need help!

I am learning python and arcpy because i need to create loops that select variables and create kriging files.

After an incredible number of hours and headackes, I created a script that "works" BUT either it never stops if i specify the overwrite.output or gives me an error saying that I can not overwrite. My point is: how do I tell python that I want to generate a new file (kriging raster file) every time an iteration is finished?

For example, if I run the kriging for the year 101, I need an output file 101; for year 102 an output file 102, and so on.

I know for most of you this question is idiotic, but I really cant figure it out!

This is my code

while yrmdda<103:

# Process: Select Layer By Attribute
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(provissima__2_, "NEW_SELECTION", "\"yrmdda\" = 101")

# Process: Kriging
arcpy.gp.Kriging_sa(provissima, "WindSp", final, "Spherical 0.031460", "0.03146", "VARIABLE 12", Output_variance_of_prediction_raster)
