eval ?

[Lonnie Princehouse]

Hi Angelo,

Welcome to Python =)

Why not make a list of lists? I.e.

lists = [ [] for i in range(3) ]
for my_list in lists:
  for i in range(6):
    if some_condition(i):
      my_list.append(1)
  
It's generally best to avoid eval if you don't need it.  And some tips-

1. Don't use "list" as a variable name.  It's a builtin type!

2. Iterate over objects in lists directly, not with an index, unless you
   actually need the index for something.   Example,
      for obj in obj_list:
         print obj
      
      instead of
  
      for i in range(len(obj_list)):
          print obj_list[i]

3. Don't use the same variable name "index" for both for loops.

4. String formatters!   
    "list%s = my_list" % index 
        is more readable than
    "list" + str(index) + " = my_list"
