What is a "variable declaration" in Python? Please el

That might possibly be because it isn't? It's not BNF. It's PEG. Or

I would only do this when it aligns particularly well with the
algorithm being implemented. For example, you could start a Fibonacci
evaluator with "a, b = 0, 1". Otherwise, there's

What do you mean by this? Most languages I've worked with allow
variables to be initialized with arbitrary expression

file to provide what I need. The Python json package is very simple
to use and with an 'indent=' setting the resulting json is reasonably
human readable which is all I need.
Thus programs simply read the values from the json file into a
dictionary of dictionaries and the 'updater of values' program can
write them back after changes.

It's effectively a 'table' with columns named 'dev', 'input' and
'name' and I want to access the values of the table using the variable
name.
I could, obviously, store the data in a database (sqlite), I have some
similar data in a database already but the above sort of format in
Python source is more human readable and accessible. I'm just looking
for a less laborious way of entering it really.
