python - Creating pandas dataframes within a loop -

i attempting create approximately 120 data frames based upon list of files , dataframe names. problem after loop works, dataframes don't persist. code can found below. know why may not working?

for fname, dfname in zip(csv_files, df_names):     filepath = find(fname, path)     dfname = pd.dataframe.from_csv(filepath) 

this python feature. see simpler example: (comments show outputs)

 values = [1,2,3]  v in values:      print v,  # 1 2 3 v in values:     v = 4     print v,  # 4 4 4 print values # [1, 2, 3] # values have not been modified 

also @ question , answer: modifying list iterator in python not allowed?

the solution suggestd in comment should work better because not modify iterator. if need name access dataframe, can use dictionanry:

dfs = {} fname, dfname in zip(csv_files, df_names):     filepath = find(fname, path)     df = pd.dataframe.from_csv(filepath)     dfs[dfname] = df print dfs[df_names[1]]
