Hi,
I don't know the solution, or if there is one.
And because of that, if I were you I would try to contain this data in 
different way. Why not dictionary?

years = {1900: [0,0], 1901: [0,0], ..., 1999: [0,0]}

Initiating this dictionary with empty (or [0,0]) one hundred lists would 
be easy with for loop. Accessing/changing list representing particular 
year is much more easier: years[1980].
