one class for each string in list in python [duplicate]

Question

Let's suppose I have a list of strings:

people = ['Mike','Paul','Caroline']

and a class:

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, is_married = False):
        self.name = name
        self.is_married =is_married

How can i iterate through the strings in the list, and for each string create an instance of Person? Ideally, I would like to be able to call each instance through their name (the string), for example:

Mike.is_married = True
print(Mike.is_married)

"Ideally, I would like to be able to call each instance through their name" No, no, you really don't want that. Store them in a dict instead and access them as your_dict['Mike']. — Aran-Fey

Because someone may have the name print and you'll take years to debug why doesn't your print command work. — user202729

Something like: People_dict = {} \n for name in people: \n People_dict[name] = Person(name) ? — pablopeplo

this creates a list of object dynamic

obj={}
for pers in people:
    obj[pers]=Person(pers)
print(obj)
