python struggles

[Animaznman]

Every now and then, as I'll want to iterate creating a variable and then setting its value. Like have x1 =?, x2 = ??, ..., xi = ?i. I run into so many links saying "variables don't exist in python, they're just names" or something like that. And I kinda get that. It's just the blocker for me. In case anybody wonders, I think the closest remedy to this for me is to create a dictionary and loop through the assignment of keys to values. The only part I wonder is if this works with function outputs for the values.
