为便于阅读而重写：

# 2D array/ matrix

# 5 rows, 5 cols
rows_count = 5
cols_count = 5

# create
#     creation looks reverse
#     create an array of "cols_count" cols, for each of the "rows_count" rows
#        all elements are initialized to 0
two_d_array = [[0 for j in range(cols_count)] for i in range(rows_count)]

# index is from 0 to 4
#     for both rows & cols
#     since 5 rows, 5 cols

# use
two_d_array[0][0] = 1
print two_d_array[0][0]  # prints 1   # 1st row, 1st col (top-left element of matrix)

two_d_array[1][0] = 2
print two_d_array[1][0]  # prints 2   # 2nd row, 1st col

two_d_array[1][4] = 3
print two_d_array[1][4]  # prints 3   # 2nd row, last col

two_d_array[4][4] = 4
print two_d_array[4][4]  # prints 4   # last row, last col (right, bottom element of matrix)

l=[[0]*(L) for _ in range(W)]

将快于：

l = [[0 for x in range(L)] for y in range(W)] 

输入矩阵和打印的用户定义功能

def inmatrix(m,n):
    #Start function and pass row and column as parameter
    a=[] #create a blank matrix
    for i in range(m): #Row input
        b=[]#blank list
        for j in range(n): # column input
            elm=int(input("Enter number in Pocket ["+str(i)+"]["+str(j)+"] ")) #Show Row And column  number 
            b.append(elm) #add value to b list
        a.append(b)# Add list to matrix
    return  a #return Matrix 

def Matrix(a): #function for print Matrix
    for i in range(len(a)): #row
        for j in range(len(a[0])): #column
            print(a[i][j],end=" ") #print value with space
        print()#print a line After a row print

m=int(input("Enter number of row")) #input row
n=int(input("Enter number of column"))
a=inmatrix(m,n) #call input matrix function 

print("Matrix is ... ")

Matrix(a) #print matrix function

如果您想创建一个二维矩阵，其维度由两个变量定义，并使用其所有元素的默认值对其进行初始化。您可以使用以下简单语法

n_rows=3
n_cols=4
aux_matrix= [[1]*n_cols]*n_rows

通常，go to模块是NumPy：

import numpy as np
   
# Generate a random matrix of floats
np.random.rand(cols,rows)

# Generate a random matrix of integers
np.random.randint(1, 10, size=(cols,rows))

下面是一个用于初始化列表列表的简短符号：

matrix = [[0]*5 for i in range(5)]

不幸的是，将其缩短为5*[5*[0]这样的长度并不能真正起作用，因为您最终会得到相同列表的5个副本，因此当您修改其中一个副本时，它们都会发生变化，例如：

>>> matrix = 5*[5*[0]]
>>> matrix
[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]
>>> matrix[4][4] = 2
>>> matrix
[[0, 0, 0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0, 0, 2], [0, 0, 0, 0, 2]]
