How to have a list of lists (or array of lists)

Hi,

I want to have many lists, such as list0, list1, list2, ..., each one
holding different number of items.
Is there something like
list[0]
list[1]
list[2]

so that I can iterate through this list of lists?

Thanks!

listOfLists = [[1,2], [5,7,9], [4,2,1,4,6,6]]

No problem there. The lists can contain any objects, including lists.

for x in listOfLists:
print 'list:',
for y in x:
print y,
print

list0 = [1]
list1 = [2,3,4,5]
list2 = [6,7,8]

allLists =[list0, list1, list2]
print allLists[1][3]
print allLists[0][0]

listoflists = [
[1, 2, 3],
["foo", "bar", "baaz", "quux"],
["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"]
]

for alist in listoflists:
for item in alist:
print item
