List of zeros in python [duplicate]

Answer 1

Here is the xrange way:

list(0 for i in xrange(0,5)) 

Answer 2

If you want a function which will return an arbitrary number of zeros in a list, try this:

def make_zeros(number):
    return [0] * number

list = make_zeros(10)

# list now contains: [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
