Multidimensional array in Python

Question

I have a little Java problem I want to translate to Python. Therefor I need a multidimensional array. In Java it looks like:

double dArray[][][] = new double[x.l

I've just stepped into a similar need and coded this:

def nDimensionsMatrix(dims, elem_count, ptr=[]):
    if (dims > 1):
        for i in range(elem_count[dims-1]):
            empty = []
            ptr.append(empty)
            nDimensionsMatrix(dims-1, elem_count, empty)
        return ptr
    elif dims == 1:
        ptr.extend([0 for i in range(elem_count[dims])])
        return ptr

matrix = nDimensionsMatrix(3, (2,2,2))

I'm not looking at speed, only funcionality ;)

I want to create a matrix with N dimensions and initialize with 0 (a elem_count number of elements in each dimension).

Hope its helps someone
