Create individual objects based on json response

I'm trying to take a json response and create as many objects that are contained in the response. Based on the text below, I want variable to be based on "testuser1" and the next variable to be based on "testuser2", and so on. Im able to convert the response to a dictionary but I'm sure how to count the objects and make variables out of each so I can refer and change them later in the code.

{'Accounts': 
    [
      {'Name': 'testuser1', 
       'Username': 'testuser1', 
       'Email': '[email protected]'}, 
      {'Name': 'testuser2', 
       'Username': 'testuser2', 
       'Email': '[email protected]'}
    ]

Basically, I want to count and create as many objects that are in the response. I don't want to use the split function to look for the {}. For example: $var1 = {'Name': 'testuser1', 'Username': 'testuser2=1', 'Email': '[email protected]'} and $var2 = {'Name': 'testuser2', 'Username': 'testuser2', 'Email': '[email protected]'}

Now that I think about this problem, I believe I'm approaching it wrong. I shouldn't be trying to convert this data because I can refer to each element of the dictionary. Converting to a variable is redundant.

Thanks for everyones help with a noob python approach and problem.

This works for python 3:

import json

response = ...  # Your json response
d = json.loads(response)
obj_list = []

total_obj = len(d['Accounts'])

for index in range(tot_obj):
    obj_list.append(d['Accounts'][index])

var1 = obj_list[0]  # Optionally, var1 = d['Accounts'][0]
var2 = obj_list[1]

The method json.loads() converts a string to dictionary while json.dumps() does that the other way round.

Check out this documentation to know more: json module

You can store the variables in a list which could be accessed using indices.
