Changing variable under while loop

Question

I'd like to make something like this in Python 3:

x = 0
while x < 20:
    variable0 = 2
    x += 1

The variable's name should change with every loop: 1st loop variable0, 2nd loop variable1, 3rd loop variable2, ...

Answer 1

I would use a dict for this.

my_dict = dict() 
for x in range(20):
    my_dict["thing" + str(x)] = 2

for k, v in my_dict.items():
    print("{0} : {1}".format(k, v))
