Python doesn't have "arrays".  It has tuples, lists, and dictionaries.  A
quick Google will tell you the distinctions between them.

It looks to me like you want to create a list of lists....


t =[ ["item1", "item2", "item3"], ["itemA", "itemB", "itemC"], ["itemI",
"itemII", "itemIII"] ]

t[0][0] == "item1"
t[1][1] == "itemB"
t[2][2] == "itemIII"
