Simple problem

[Angelo Secchi]

Hi,
I'm newby to Python with the following problem.
In one of my programs I have the following loop:

for index in markets:
pippo='firm_'+index
where markets is a list ['A','B','C']. In the same loop at each step I
would like to create a new list with name 'firm_A', 'firm_B' and so on.
How can I ask to python to do that?

Thanks.
Angelo

As a complement to what others have posted, here is another variant:

markets = [ 'A', 'B', 'C']
pippo = map (lambda x:'firm_'+x, markets)
print pippo

['firm_A', 'firm_B', 'firm_C']
