Is there a way to make each string from a list of strings into their own empty lists?

Question

here's what im trying to do:

oglist = ['a','b','c']

#add magical code here and print empty created lists

a = []

b = []

c = []

Answer 1

Although, I strongly discouraged you to do it, you can create some variables dynamically with globals() or locals() (or vars()):

oglist = ['a', 'b', 'c']
for og in oglist:
    globals()[og] = []

Test:

>>> a
[]

>>> b
[]

>>> c
[]

Recommended approach: It's preferable to use something like defaultdict:

from collections import defaultdict

ogdict = defaultdict(list)

Test:

>>> ogdict['a']
[]

>>> ogdict['b']
[]

>>> ogdict['c']
[]

As you can see with defaultdict, you don't need to have the key before in your dict. The entry is created dynamically.
