I think exec is what you want:

for x in range(10):
    exec "var_%d = %d" % (x, x)

This creates var_0 ... var_9 and assigns them the value of the index. exec
executes strings which can be dynamically created at runtime. Okay, I
guess performance isn't very well but if it is not crucial, who cares?

No, if you want answers you should read it, at last the thread you
started. People answering your posting are not answering because of you,
but because of all the other peoples who have the same/similar question.
