Conceptually, I think you're looking for a list.  The "subscript"
you're using can be implemented as a list indexing operation.

e.g.:

############
x = [0, 0]
x[0] = 5
x[1] = 4
print x[0]
print x[1]
##############

The index we're using can be an arbitrary expression, not just a fixed number:

################
messages = [0] * 5
for i in range(5):
    messages[i] = ("This is %d" % i)
print messages
################
