You should verily read [ask]. Your question history is quite bad. Read this article by *the mighty* [Jon Skeet](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9134/jon-skeet-facts): [Writing the perfect question](https://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2010/08/29/writing-the-perfect-question/). Finally, you should [accept](http://stackoverflow.com/help/accepted-answer) the answer if it was helpful to you. – Sнаđошƒаӽ May 07 '16 at 13:52

Use list of lists.
myL = []
for i in range(5):
myL.append([i for i in range(5)])
for vector in myL:
print(vector)
Output:
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
For every element of the list myL
, you can get the length using len(myL[index])
, and can also append element to it using myL[index].append(newelement)
. Example:
print(len(myL[2]))
# prints 5
myL[2].append(100)
print(len(myL[2]))
# prints 6
