A little more information would help.

Is this a 2D array of numbers, strings, objects?  Are all the elements
of the array of the same type?

For lightweight, general purpose 2D array, use a list of lists

x = [ ['Hi', 1], ['Bye', 2] ]
print x[1][1]

For heaviweight, fast 2D numeric arrays, use Numeric (aka numpy)
