You're certainly not doing that. >>> x = [0] * 2 >>> x = x * [2] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int And even if you *do* do what it looks like you think you want to do >>> x = [[0] * 2] * 2 >>> x [[0, 0], [0, 0]] ..you don't get what you think you'd get.. So, let's say you do this >>> x[1][1] = 7 >>> x [[0, 7], [0, 7], [0, 7], [0, 7]] .. still not what you thought >>> x = [[0] * 2] * 4 >>> x [[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]] > x[1,1] = 7 > > This gives me the x value > [[0,0] [0,0] [0,0] [0,7]] > > I want to get the indices of the value 7. > i.e. something like > i = a.index(max(a)) gives me '1' > > This only gives me the index in one dimension.

When you sort out what you're actually trying to do, the answer to your question may be in this thread: http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/2f82408e1bcaa02e/27925504b2a4eb4a > > Thanks in advance.
