Two Dimensional List Python with loop

Question

I have two lists:

ask[]
timeStamp[]

I need to add the information in these lists into a two dimensional array.

Here is my code:

for item in actTime:
    rawData.append(ask[x],timeStamp[x])
    x = x + 1

the timeStamp list in the loop should actually be the actTime list. But regardless its just a list containing a time — scriptdiddy

Be precise. Show us an example of the contents of the lists before you start, and what you want the corresponding result to be. — Karl Knechtel

Use zip:

>>> pairs = zip(ask, timeStamp)

This will return a list of (tuple) pairs.
