How do I get an empty array of any size in python?

Question

I need a python equivalent of this below statement in C:

int a[x];

But, In the case of python, I can declare an array like this:

a=[]

furthermore, the issue is I need to allot random slot with values like: 

a[4]=1

however, I can't do it with python, since the array is unfilled.

On the off chance that by "array" you really mean a Python list, you can utilize

a=[0]*10

or

a=[None]*10
