PySpark Set variable that's the name of current loop value - pyspark

Question

I want to spin through a config file in a loop assigning any options I find to a variable of the same name in my notebook.
So the code is shorter and I don't have a load of try and else steps. I initialize default options at the start and then if I find a config option with the same name it updates it
Config file
[file_options]
cfgfilename = 'newfilename.csv'
Notebook
import configparser
# default options
cfgfilename = 'dummy.csv'
otheroptions_etc = 'hi'
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read({config file path here})
if config.has_section('file_options'):
for option in config.options('file_options'):
{something here to set cfgfilename}= config.get('file_options', option )
print (cfgfilename) # and so it comes out as newfilename.csv not dummy.csv

Thanks samKart this is how I solved it using a dictionary
# create dictionary with the dummy value pairs
dict_values = { 'filename' : 'dummy.csv',
'otheroptions_etc' : 'hi'}
# check it has a file options section
if config.has_section('file_options'):
# loop through the options in the section
for option in config.options('file_options'):
# if that option is in the dictionary..
if option in dict_values.keys():
# ... up date it
dict_values[option] = config.get('file_options', option )
# finally set all the variables to the updated dictionary values
filename= dict_values['filename']
otheroptions_etc= dict_values['otheroptions_etc']
