title: Mass variable declaration and assignment in Python
body: <p>Trying to create a batch of dictionaries:</p>
  
  <pre><code>January = {}
  February = {}
  March = {}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would rather do something like:
  January, February, March... = {} </p>
  
  <p>which of course doesn't work. </p>
  
  <p>Ultimately, I'm wanting to create a dictionary of these dictionaries:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MONTHS_DICT = {'01':January,'02':February...}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Its not a ton of code to do it line by line but I'm just learning Python and.... doing something repetitive typically tells me it can be done more efficiently in some other way.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts? </p>
  
  <p>p.s. I'm working with python 2.x but if using 3 for this example would be of some help, that's not a problem. </p>
