Is it possible to specify the size of list at construction?

Yes, that's helpful.  Thanks a lot.

But what if I wanna construct an array of arrays like
we do in C++ or Java:

myArray [][]

Basically, I want to do the following in Python:

myArray[0][1] = list1
myArray[1][2] = list2
myArray[2][3] = list3

How to do this, gurus?
