create lists of unique names in a for -loop in python

Question

I want to create a series of lists with unique names inside a for-loop and use the index to create the liste names. Here is what I want to do

x = [100,2,300,         


        

Answer 1

Don't make dynamically named variables. It makes it hard to program with them. Instead, use a dict:

x = [100,2,300,4,75]
dct = {}
for i in x:
    dct['lst_%s' % i] = []

print(dct)
# {'lst_300': [], 'lst_75': [], 'lst_100': [], 'lst_2': [], 'lst_4': []}
