if you really want to do this (& I agree with the other replies that this is unlikely to be a good idea) then you could simply unpack the list var1,var2,var3=fruits of course if your list is of unknown length then this again becomes impractical. for most programming requirements there is a simple solution, if you find your approach is not easily implemented it is probably a good time to re- asses your approach, more of the than not you have been given a bum steer and are heading down the wrong road.
