Is there a way to make this list for my online board game look better? for my terminals sake

so in my code, I have a line as such:

self.board= [[[]]*7] * 10

where and it produces this board to use in my game:

[[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], 
[], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []], [[], [], [], [], [], [], []]]

is there a way to get it to produce this instead:

[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []],
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []], 
[[], [], [], [], [], [], []]

do note that I have removed the very first and last bracket, but this change of looks would make my code and terminal look a lot better.

Is there any way I can do this and also still use it later on?

don't do `self.board= [[[]]*7] * 10` as it duplicates the references of the sublists. Use `[[[] for _ in range(7)] for _ in range 10]` – Jean-François Fabre Oct 18 '22 at 19:10
then what you're seeing is a _representation_ of your matrix. Use a custom method to print the elements, you'll get better results – Jean-François Fabre Oct 18 '22 at 19:12

Simplest way seems for me: for k in self.board: print(k) – MatthiasL Oct 18 '22 at 19:32
MatthiasL I ended up doing that, thanks – coops Oct 24 '22 at 16:40
