Is there a way to use a string from a list as the label for an array?

I have data that has been given to me as a list in this format:

['NAME', 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0, 21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0]

What I want to do is to convert it to an array with this format:

NAME=[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0, 21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0]

Is there a way to do this with code or am I better off manually labeling some the arrays and appending data to them?

you could use a dictionary:

# suppose that l is your list

my_data = {l[0]: l[1:]}

later in code, you can use:

my_data['NAME']
