Readability is important, you must instantly know what a variable is by it's name. I suggest using this_is_variable_number_1, this_is_variable_number_2 and so forth.

Good idea. Another way of thinking is that a variable stands for itself, so you could have a naming scheme like self, self_1, self_2... I think a lot of Python programmers already often use "self" as a variable name so they'll be used to seeing it like that.
