In Python for constructing 2D-array, you can use list-comprehension as it is the best way to construct a 2D-array. Actually in Python array is nothing but a set of list values.
# Here we are creating a list containing 5 lists, each of the 8 items, all set to 0.
a, b = 8, 5;
Matrix = [[0 for x in range(a)] for y in range(b)]
As our matrix is created, so now we can add items to it by following way:
Matrix[0][0] = 1
print Matrix[0][0] #it will print 1
Another way you can get a 2D-array by using numpy. Matrix operations in numpy most often used as an array type with two dimensions. There are many ways to create a new array; one of the most useful is the zeros function, which takes a shape parameter and returns an array of the given shape, with the values initialized to zero:
import numpy
numpy.zeros((5, 5))
