How to add a variable name to a sensor data coming from remote XBee in python?

I am sending Temperature, Humidity and Light sensor data from a remote XBee module to a local one. The remote XBee is connected to a sensor board with STM32 microcontroller and two sensors, the data from the sensors is sent to a microconterller then to XBee in order to transfer it wirelessly to another XBee. I don't have any problem with the microcontroller part. but when I get the data from the remote XBee I want to display it in python. I am getting the correct data but I need to add variable names to my sensor data. for instance the first sensor data is the temperature data which comes as an integer and what I need is to see the temperature sensor values as; Temp = xx(integer values). Here is the python code I used.

#!/usr/bin/python
import serial
from xbee import ZigBee

serial_port = serial.Serial('COM22', 9600)

zb = ZigBee(serial_port)

while True:
    try:
        print('Data Received from Xbee')
        data = zb.wait_read_frame() #Get data for later use

        #print data # for debugging only
        print data['rf_data']

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        break

serial_port.close()

and this is my python sensor data output

   Data Received from Xbee
23
32
103

Process finished with exit code -1

print 'Temp = {}'.format(data['rf_data'])

where data['rf_data'] is your temperature data

{} will be replaced but what values you have in the format method in order

So if you have print {} and {}'.format(1,2) you will print 1 and 2
