Create symbols() from a list of variables

[theoracle]

Hello,

I have searched through the sympy docs and can't seem to find the answer to this.

Can I use lists to declare symbols for sympy.

example:

variables = ['x', 'y', 'z']

for i in range (0,len(variables))
     variables[i] = symbols(variables[i])

You can just use symbols(variables) (symbols() works with a list of strings).

Or, for some reason if you want to:

variables = ['x', 'y', 'z']

sympy_variables = []
for v in variables:
sympy_variables[i] = Symbol(v)


The above can be further written concisely as:
sympy_variables = [Symbol(v) for v in variables]

so, sympy_variables will be a list of SymPy symbols in both cases.

Thanks for the quick response that was good to hear, I am just getting started with Python for scientific computing and I am amazed at how powerful it is.
