Creating new variables in loop, with names from list, in Python

Question

How to create new variables with names from list? This:

name = [\'mike\', \'john\', \'steve\']   
age = [20, 32, 19]  
index = 0

for e in name:
    name[ind         


        

Answer 1

You can use globals():

globals()[e] = age[index]

Generally, though, you don't want to do that; a dictionary is much more convenient.

people = {
    'mike': 20,
    'john': 32,
    'steve': 19
}
