# How can I evaluate before assigning on the line 16?

#Initialization, dummy code?
x=0
y=0

variables = [x, y]
data = ['2,3,4', '5,5,6']

# variables[0] should be evaluted to `x` here, i.e. x = data[0], how?
variables[0] = data[0]

if ( variables[0] != x ):
    print("It does not work, why?");
else:
    print("It works!");
