[Tutor] corresponding command in Python to "eval" in Matlab

[Happy Deer]

Dear all-

I wonder whether there is a way in Python which can do what "eval" in
Matlab  does.
Say, varlist is a 1 by k tuple/list, which contains strings for variable
names.
For example, varlist=['var1','var2',...'vark']
data is a n by k matrix.
I want to assign each column in data to each variable in varlist and get
var1=data[:,1]... vark=data[:,k]

Anyone knows how to do this?
