store variable with its value and unit in a list python












0














Is there a better way to code this function that store each variable with value and unit in a list?



data=
def Unitvar(var,value,unit):
t=(var,value,unit)
data.append(t)
return value

x=Unitvar('x',2,'meter')
print(x)
print(data)


I think one way to improve it is to make the function call the variable name inside the function itself without repeating the variable name 'x' inside function parameters.
Finally, I want to use this function in micropython, as a result, I can only use built-in functions

  • If I use OOP, 'X' will be an object while I want it as a value only because It will be used inside a class with functions of 300 lines later when I will print the result I will use the list generated by the function to map variables to its units

  • You could use globals()[var] = value inside the function, enabling you to populate data and the variables themselves automatically e.g. in a loop. But it's not generally recommended practice.
