Python - Error at equals sign for no reason?

Question

I'm using eval and pybrain to make neural networks. Here's it stripped down. Using python 3.6


    from pybrain import *

    numnn = 100

    eval("neuralNetwork" + chr(numnn) + " = buildNetwork(2, 3, 1, bias=True)")

You should show what is happening. – Ned Batchelder Apr 06 '19 at 18:54 — Ned Batchelder, Apr 06 '19 at 18:54
what's the error code you are getting when you run this? – Mobrine Hayde Apr 06 '19 at 18:54 — Mobrine Hayde, Apr 06 '19 at 18:54

eval evaluates expressions. Assignment in Python is not an expression, it's a statement.

But you don't need this anyway. Make a list or dict to hold all of your values.
