That assumes that the OPs "list" is actually a list of tumples:
[(1,firstvalue),(2,secondvalue), (3, thirdvalue), ...]
I'd adjust my thinking (regarding 0/1 based counting) and just
use a list or a tuple:
var = list(values)
or
var = tuple(values)
In either case, you now have
var[0], var[1], var[2], var[3], ...
If you insist on numbers starting at 1, then a dict would work:
var = {}
for i,value in itertools.enumerate(itertools.count(1), values):
var[i] = value
now you have
var[1], var[2], var[3], var[4], ...
