Minor clarification: You don't want to initialize them to the same value, which you can do already: a=b=c=d=e=dict() You want to initialize them each to a fresh evaluation of the same expression. What you're asking for is a syntax that writes an expression once, but evaluates it many times; I think it's going to work out something very similar to a list comprehension (as has been mentioned).
