working with placeholder in variable names in Python, wx.python

Question

I am working with wxpython and want to shorten my qode by working with loops. The following example is not working and I am wondering how to get it work.

Keys = ['Q_geo_ges_h','Q_geo_ges_k']
Values = [12.6,1.943]
for key,value in Keys,Values:
    'self.%s'%key = wx.TextCtrl(self,-1,value=str(value))

Is there any way to assign a variable from a list of strings?

Answer 1

Using zip to make a sequence of key, value pairs.

>>> keys = ['Q_geo_ges_h', 'Q_geo_ges_k']
>>> values = [12.6, 1.943]
>>> zip(keys, values)
[('Q_geo_ges_h', 12.6), ('Q_geo_ges_k', 1.943)]

And use setattr to set attribute:

keys = ['Q_geo_ges_h', 'Q_geo_ges_k']
values = [12.6, 1.943]
for key, value in zip(keys, values):
    setattr(self, key, wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, value=str(value))
