I think what you are looking for is a way to group data attributes. You can
do this with classes or even dictionaries.

For example:

class person:

    def __init__(self):

        self.name = ""
        self.address = ""
        self.age = ""

me = person()
me.name = "John"
me.age = 25

print me.name, ":", me.age

etc.
