>>> class A:
... 	pass
... 
>>> filter(lambda i:globals().__setitem__('a%d'%i,A()),range(5))
[]
>>> a0
<__main__.A instance at 0x00DD8418>
>>> a1
<__main__.A instance at 0x00DDB748>
>>> a2
<__main__.A instance at 0x00C0DD20>
>>> a3
<__main__.A instance at 0x00C0DD50>
>>> a4
<__main__.A instance at 0x00DDB1E0>

Instead of globals() you can take any dictionary you want. 
Instead of filter you can take list comprehension.
Instead of dictionary you can take a list as container.
Instead of what I posted above you can do what ohters posted.
Pyhton lets you do it in any way of your gusto.
