given a list such as

['messages', 'recipients', 'viruses']

how would I iterate over the list and use the values as variables and open
the variable names a files?

I tried

for outfile in ['messages', 'recipients', 'viruses']:
    filename = os.path.join(Host_Path, outfile)
    outfile = open(filename, 'w')


But it's not working.
