I am not very experienced in python and I need some help. I would like to generate names for some variables automatically, but i don't know how to. Let's say, i have a dict with 20 values and i want to generate 20 names for the 20 values.
I tried this way, but obviously, python can not assign a string to an item
for i in range(len(dict)): name[i] = 'var_{}'.format(i) self.name[i] = dict[i]The result should look like :
self.var_0 = content of dict[0] self.var_1 = content of dict[1] . . . self.var_31 = content of dict[31]2 Answers
You can use the built-in setattr function.
setattr(x, 'foobar', 123)is equivalent tox.foobar = 123.
for key, value in dict.items(): setattr(self, f'var_{key}', value)Please try this. I hope this is what you need.
dict_source={1:'A',2:'B',3:'C'}
name=[]
dict_final={}
for i in range(1,4): var_name='var_{}'.format(i) name.append(var_name) dict_final[name[i-1]]=dict_source[i]
