Changing variable names with Python for loops [duplicate]

by

You probably want a dict instead of separate variables. For example

d = {}
for i in range(3):
    d["group" + str(i)] = self.getGroup(selected, header+i)

If you insist on actually modifying local variables, you could use the locals function:

for i in range(3):
    locals()["group"+str(i)] = self.getGroup(selected, header+i)

On the other hand, if what you actually want is to modify instance variables of the class you’re in, then you can use the setattr function

for i in group(3):
    setattr(self, "group"+str(i), self.getGroup(selected, header+i)

And of course, I’m assuming with all of these examples that you don’t just want a list:

groups = [self.getGroup(i,header+i) for i in range(3)]
