Easy as falling off a log. You can't write "var1", "var2" etc. but you
can write it as "var[0]", "var[1]" etc.
var = ['banana', 'apple', 'mango']
print var[0] # prints 'banana'
print var[1] # prints 'apple'
print var[2] # prints 'mango'
Of course "var" is not a very good variable name. "fruit" or "fruits"
would be better.
