Python multi-dimensional array initialization without a loop

Question

Is there a way in Python to initialize a multi-dimensional array / list without using a loop?

Accepted Answer

Sure there is a way

```
arr = eval(`[[0]*5]*10`)
```

or

```
arr = eval(("[[0]*5]+"*10)[:-1])
```

but it's horrible and wasteful, so everyone uses loops (usually list comprehensions) or numpy
