Python3 - create global variable(list) from function

Question

I have this code(example):

count = 3

def test(count):
    a = 1
    while a <= count:
        global list + str(a)
        list + str(a) = []
        print(a)
        a += 1

test(count)

print(list1)
print(list2)
print(list3)

How can I create dynamically global variable(list) in function? I need to make my code working, need access to variables(lists): "list1", "list2" and "list3" from function outside.

Thanks

Why can't you put `list1`, `list2`, and `list3` in an actual list? Or better yet, a `dict`? — Scott Hunter, Nov 04 '16 at 13:19
You really don't want to do this. [This](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1373164/how-do-i-create-a-variable-number-of-variables) takes care of your variable variables, and then just return the dictionary. — Morgan Thrapp, Nov 04 '16 at 13:21
@MorganThrapp So, I can use 1 global dictionary and write some data on it, using dynamic keys? — Petro Pikh, Nov 04 '16 at 13:24
Yup, I did already. The link I gave you shows how to make a dictionary, as for returning, you need to read a tutorial. That's Python 101. — Morgan Thrapp, Nov 04 '16 at 13:24

Many thanks for all. I used this code:

count = 3
urls = {}

def test(count):
    a = 1
    while a <= count:
        urls[a] = 'test'
        a += 1

test(count)
print(urls)
