why use list in python code example

Example 1: create list python

# empty list
my_list = []

# list of integers
my_list = [1, 2, 3]

# list with mixed data types
my_list = [1, "Hello", 3.4]

Example 2: a list inside a list python

board = []    
for i in range(6): # create a list with nested lists
    board.append([])
    for n in range(6):
        board[i].append("O") # fills nested lists with data
