create new variable name for each loop in a for loop

Question

How can i make a list's name change for each round in a for loop as below?

list_of_names=["A","B"]

for item in list_of_names:
    x_i=[1,2,3]
    print "done"

The for loop will have 2 loops so I would like 'i' in x_i to be x_A and x_B for each loop respectively.

d={}    
for item in list_of_names:
    d['x_'+i]=[1,2,3]
    print "done"

you can use a dictionary to initialise the value

Don't use `dict` as a variable name(and 'u' is not a word). – Ashwini Chaudhary Jun 25 '14 at 06:11
