Use a dictionary or an object.

If the variables are globals (i.e. attributes of the current module), you
can pass the result of globals() into the function, or have the function
return a dictionary which the caller merges into globals().

There isn't no way to do anything similar for local variables. The parser
has to "see" the name being used a local variable in order for it to
actually exist as a local variable.

Or you could do:

	x, y, z = [somefunction(i) for i in [1,2,3]]
