Multidimensional arrays - how?

[Jeff Davis]

x = []
x.append([])
x[0].append([])
x[0][0].append([])
x[0][0][0].append('text0')

Hmm... doesn't look to graceful though. It seems as though that style 
works out for most common situations where you add one element at a time.

If you want a preallocated array try the following
x = [None for foo in range(0,5)]
# gives x[5]
or even:
x = [[None for foo in range(1,5)] for foo in range(0,5)]
# the above givies you an array like x[5][5]

I hope that works out for you. It might seem a little messier than what 
you're used to. However, I think it help to keep good track of variables 
like this. There also might be a better way that I don't know of.
