Depends. If the length of arglist is "known" you could simply unpack it:
a,b,c,d = (1,2,3,4)
If the length is unknown, a while loop would do the trick. All you need is to
figure out what "truth condition" to test for on each iteration of the while
loop.
while truthCondition:
#assign variable to value
