title: Assigning values to variables in a list using a loop
body: <pre><code>var_list = [one, two, three]
  num = 1
  for var in var_list:
      var = num
      num += 1
  </code></pre>
  <p>The above gives me an error that 'one' doesn't exist. Can you not assign in this way? I want to assign an incrementing number for each var in the list. So I want the equivalent of</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>one = 1
  two = 2
  three = 3
  </code></pre>
  <p>but without having to manually create and initialize all variables. How can I do this?</p>
