How to create new variables with names from list?

This:

name = ['mike', 'john', 'steve']

age = [20, 32, 19]

index = 0

for e in name:

name[index] = age[index]

index = index+1

of course does not work. What should I do?

I want to do this:

print mike

>>> 20

print steve

>>> 19

解决方案

I think dictionaries are more suitable for this purpose:

>>> name = ['mike', 'john', 'steve']

>>> age = [20, 32, 19]

>>> dic=dict(zip(name, age))

>>> dic['mike']

20

>>> dic['john']

32

But if you still want to create variables on the fly you can use globals()[]:

>>> for x,y in zip(name, age):

globals()[x] = y

>>> mike

20

>>> steve

19

>>> john

32
