Thank you all for your suggestions.
The purpose of this script to read values for initialization of a class
that calls functions from another software program for chemically reacting

I'd like to be clear, this isn't a clean thing for the middle of a big
program. I was thinking the entire time I was testing it "I wonder why
anyone would need to do this"
But if you have a python program you'd probably call a script, used
for one simple task, it can be appropriate (with Kent'

Don't do this!
For one thing, writing to locals() d
Accidentally cut off a 0 there...
Think about using ConfigParser instead of your csv. Doug Hellman wrote
a good article on that:

But if you really want to load your data this way, this will work:
for subscript,line in enumerate(file("f
for subscript,line in enumerate(file("file.csv")):
s = line.split(",")[1]
try:
f = float(s)
locals()["x%i" % subscript]=f
except:
locals()["x%i" % subscript]=s
print x1
print x
