If you are not going to use the NumPy library, you can use the nested list. This is code to implement the dynamic nested list (2-dimensional lists).
Let r
is the number of rows
let r=3
m=[]
for i in range(r):
m.append([int(x) for x in raw_input().split()])
Any time you can append a row using
m.append([int(x) for x in raw_input().split()])
Above, you have to enter the matrix row-wise. To insert a column:
for i in m:
i.append(x) # x is the value to be added in column
To print the matrix:
print m # all in single row
for i in m:
print i # each row in a different line
