title: Use iterator as variable name in python loop
body: <p>I've been wondering if there is a way to use an iterator as a variable name in a Python loop.  For example, if I wanted to create objects <code>v0</code>, <code>v1</code>, <code>v2</code>, is there a way to do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for i in range(3):
      v + str(i) = i**2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know the syntax is wrong, but the idea should be clear.  Something equivalent to <code>paste</code> in R?  Thanks much, </p>
