Is there a way to assign multiple variables a same value or attribute?

Question

In Python, is there a way to make

a, b, c, d, e = 'dog'

so that

a = 'dog'

b = 'dog'

#etc.

or

a, b, c, d, e = list()

so that

type(a through e)

returns

type 'list'

a = b = c = d = e = 'dog' in all C successors, including C++, Java, C#, PHP and other. — Mark Shevchenko

in python it would be:

a = b = c = d = e = 'dog'

its the same in javascript but with 'var' at the beginning:

var a = b = c = d = e = 'dog'

In c# in would be as simple as declaring the variables and then setting them all equal.

string a,b,c,d;

a = b = c = d = "dog";
