Adding notebook pages using a for loop

Is it a good idea to add notebook pages with a for loop, each panel will use same variable when creating panels, such as

class NoteBook(wx.Notebook):

def __init__(self, parent):
   
    wx.Notebook.__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, style= wx.BK_DEFAULT)
    pages = ["page1","page2","page3"]
    for page in pages:
        main_panel = wx.Panel(self)
        self.AddPage(main_panel, page)
        notebook_page_sizer = wx.BoxSizer()
        notebook_page_sizer.Add(main_panel, 1, wx.EXPAND)
        self.SetSizer(notebook_page_sizer)

Above all pages will use “main_panel” variable.Will it create any problems?

No, just keep in mind that you can't later use main_panel to access any of the pages except for the last one added. However you can use self.GetPage(n) to get them later if you need them.
