Besides the above sugestions to correct the nested list approach,
if you need to set and access the data at the given "coordinates" you
could also use a nested defaultdict, which doesn't need to be
pre-filled before setting, e.g.:

>>> from collections import defaultdict as dd
>>> def dd_dd():
...     return dd(dd)
...
>>> dd_matrix = dd(dd_dd)
>>>
>>> dd_matrix[2][0] = 77
>>> dd_matrix[2][0]
77
>>> dd_matrix
defaultdict(<function dd_dd at 0x04E5B8B0>, {2: defaultdict(<type
'collections.defaultdict'>, {0: 77})})
>>>

However, the nested list are concise enough, I guess.
