Am I so deperately fighting the language? No-one here on the list needs to set hundreds variables at once somewhere in their code?

Nobody needs to do that. As others have pointed out, creating variables implies wanting to access them distinctly, not as a whole group. If you are just going to access them as a group, use contain objects such as lists or dicts or a custom class, not individual variables.

Now have to figure out how to assign them easily into the XML tree.

This might be the hint that others were hoping for, about your real requirements. Do you mean to say that the whole reason you have for assigning hundreds of variables is to go and shove the values right back into another data structure such as an XML document? If so, trust us, you very likely don't want to do it by assigning and then referencing hundreds of variables.
