So I have a function func(field) that returns a DataFrame.

i have a list of 1000s of fields and want to loop and pass them all through the function and save each dataframe separately.

to simply here is a list of 3 fields:

fields = ['math','science','english']

for field in fields:
    field+df = func(field)

The idea is that i want to generate variables that contain the name of the field so that I can access the dataframe of any field at any time without having to loop through them all...

so it would be nice if I can just call mathdf or englishdf etc

Don't do this. If you want an association between names and values use a dictionary. – Christian Dean Aug 30 '17 at 12:23
thank you @ChristianDean. I will do that. I'm still learning python, so go easy on me guys. – BKS Aug 30 '17 at 12:29
