[Tutor] python $i equivalent ?

[Michele Alzetta]

Suppose I wanted to create numerous instances of a class 
and name each istance according to an element in a list ?

for element in list:
    element = Class()

doesn't work of course; I need something like the bash '$' 
stuff here

for element in list:
    $element = Class() 

(of course this is neither bash nor python, I know !)

How would this be done ?
