returning a List of Lists

[nafshar]

I am trying to return an empty list of lists from a function so that, when printed, will look like : [[""]]

But a return like the following result in a printing: []

return [[]]*1

return [[]]

I would be grateful for any suggestion.

Sorry Guys. Looks like this code actually does work. I was just skipping over the statement !! - Thank you

Like this?

x_list = [[(str())]]

print(x_list)

Output:
[['']]

There is no such thing as an empty list of lists. There is an empty list [], there is an empty list in a list [[]], and there is an empty string in a list that is in another list [[""]]. The last having no empty lists at all.

empty_list = []
empty_list_in_list = [[]]
empty_str_in_list_in_list = [[""]]
print(empty_list, empty_list_in_list, empty_str_in_list_in_list)

[] [[]] [['']]
