Neat More generally for d being a 2-D reshape of dd (which may be anything as long as the size matches) >>> dd = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] >>> d=[[dd[i*3+j] for j in range(3)] for i in range(4)] >>> d [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
