Create 2D character matrix

[Simon Parker]

Hello.
 
I want to be able to create a 2D character matrix, ThisMatrix, like :
 
 
a     A
b     B
c     C
d     D
 
and to be able to pick out elements, or rows or columns.
 
I have become used to programming in R where I can easily refer to a row as :
 
ThisMatrix [1,]
 
and a column as 
 
ThisMatrix[,1].
 
etc..
 
Can this be done easily in Python ?
 
 
Thanks.
