Dataframe using For Loop in Pandas

Question

I need to run the code lines something like this.

tweet24042018 = tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == '24042018'].copy()
tweet23042018 = tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == '23042018'].copy()
tweet22042018 = tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == '22042018'].copy()

The function created and tried is like this,

for key in collect:
    ['tweet'+f'{key}'] = tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == f'{key}'].copy()

But, it gives error like,

File "<ipython-input-18-3c946d8cc61a>", line 2
['tweet'+f'{key}'] = tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == f'{key}'].copy()
^
 SyntaxError: can't assign to operator 

help please

Answer 1

Try using locals

variables = locals()
for key in collect:
    variables["tweet{0}".format(key)]= tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == key]
    print(variables["tweet{0}".format(key)].head())

Answer 2

I finally got it working, the code is as follows,

variables = locals()
 y = []
 for key in collect:
 variables["tweet{0}".format(key)]= tweets.loc[tweets['date2'] == 
 key].copy()

variables["tweet{0}".format(key)].to_csv("tweet{0}".format(key)+'.csv', 
 index = False, header = True, encoding = 'utf-8')

If only this code can be simplified.
