Python Multi-lined Artificial enums using range

Question

I am trying to make an enum-type class in Python but it gets so lengthly when you have to do

VARIABLE1, VARIABLE2, VARIABLE3, VARIABLE3, VARIABLE4, VARIABLE5, VARIABLE6, VARIABLE7, VARIABLE8, ... , VARIABLE14 = range(14)

and I've tried to set it up like the following, but ended up not working.

VARIABLE1,
VARIABLE2,
VARIABLE3,
...
VARIABLE14 = range(14)

How would I accomplish this in the simplest way possible?

Answer 1

Oh, wow I just added brackets around the variables and it worked

(VARIABLE1,
VARIABLE2,
VARIABLE3,
...
VARIABLE14) = range(14)

Answer 2

Instead of manually typing VARIABLE1, VARIABLE2 ... you can do this:

>>> for x in range(1, 15):
        globals()['VARIABLE{0}'.format(x)] = x

Does what you want, without the extra effort of typing VARIABLE1 ... VARIABLE 14.
