How to create an integer array in Python?

Question

It should not be so hard. I mean in C,

int a[10]; 

is all you need. How to create an array of all zeros for a random size. I know the zero

Answer 1

two ways:

x = [0] * 10
x = [0 for i in xrange(10)]

Edit: replaced range by xrange to avoid creating another list.

Also: as many others have noted including Pi and Ben James, this creates a list, not a Python array. While a list is in many cases sufficient and easy enough, for performance critical uses (e.g. when duplicated in thousands of objects) you could look into python arrays. Look up the array module, as explained in the other answers in this thread.
