Re: [O] [babel] How to set multiple variables with properties

[Eric Schulte]

Unfortunately org-mode properties only allow a single entry for any
given key, so you can only specify one variable using properties.

However the following workaround does exist.

*** alternative
    :PROPERTIES:
    :var:      vars=variables
    :END:

#+tblname: variables
| var1 | 1 |
| var2 | 2 |

#+begin_src python
  print vars[0][1]
  print vars[1][1]
#+end_src
