Well, if you *know* you have a particular number of words in the string
you can say

u, v, w, x, y, z = 'this is a python coding group'.split()

But if you have a variable number of words this isn't practical in
Python 2, though Python 3 has features that make it easier.

The real question is "what is the larger goal you are trying to
achieve". Where a programmer is trying to create names dynamically there
are usually better ways to proceed. Could you tell us a little more
about what you are trying to do?
