Creating a new list for each for loop

Question

I wish to create a new list each time a for loop runs

#Reading user input e.g. 10
lists = int(raw_input("How many lists do you want? "))
for p in range(0,pooled):
    #Here I want to create 10 new empty lists: list1, list2, list3 ...

Is there any smart way of doing this?

Thanks,

Kasper

Use a list comprehension:

num_lists = int(raw_input("How many lists do you want? "))
lists = [[] for i in xrange(num_lists)]
