How to add multiple lists together, while keeping them as elements in Python?

Question

I have a large number of lists, with different sizes that I would like to join together. I need to be able to retrieve each specific original list by order. For example

list1 = ['apple', 'orange', 'mango']
list2 = ['banana', 'melon']
result: [['apple', 'orange', 'mango'], ['banana', 'melon']]

And then, I need to be able to do:

result[1]
['banana', 'melon']

Answer 1

The append function will do this for you. Try something like:

result = []
result.append(list1)
result.append(list2)
# ...
# append other lists here
# ...

# this will equal list1
result[1]
