How can I evaluate variable to another variable before assigning? [closed]

Answer 1

...ah, I think I get what you want. There is a 99% probability that this is not a good idea, but I will give you the code to do what I think you're asking for anyway:

First you need to change this line:

variables = ['x','y']

(since you want the variable names here, not the values)

Now in order for the variable x to be assigned, one way to do that is:

locals()[variables[0]] = data[0]
