Question

Say you want to assign the elements of a list to variables without knowing beforehand the size of the list, how do you do it, specifically in Python?

For example lst has 5 elements, program creates 5 variables (var1, var2, var3, var4, var5) and assigns the elements to it.

Answer 1

Maybe you shoulde use dict

>>> lst = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> d = {}
>>> for i, item in enumerate(lst):
...     d['var' + str(i)] = item
... 
>>> d
{'var4': 4, 'var1': 1, 'var0': 0, 'var3': 3, 'var2': 2}
