Is there a way to abbreviate the following code somehow?
lv = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'1', 'name':'Leisure volts'}
sv = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'0', 'name':'Starter volts'}
la = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'2', 'name':'Leisure Amps'}
sa = {'dev':'bbb', 'input':'3', 'name':'Starter Amps'}
bv = {'dev':'adc2', 'input':0, 'name':'BowProp Volts'}

s = \
[        'dev', 'input', 'name',
    'lv', b:='bbb', '1', ( l:='Leisure', v:=' volts', l + v )[ -1 ],
    'sv', b,        '0', ( s:='Starter', s + v )[ -1 ],
    'la', b,        '2', ( a:=' Amps', l + a )[ -1 ],
    'sa', b,        '3', s + a,
    'bv', 'adc2',    0,  'BowProp' + v.title() ]

for name in s[ 3:: 4 ]:
    globals()[ name ]= dict()

for i in range( 4, len( s )):
    key_offset = i % 4
    if 3 == key_offset: continue
    name = s[ i // 4 * 4 - 1 ]
    key = s[ key_offset ]
    value = s[ i ]
    globals()[ name ][ key ]= value
