There's nothing built-in (yet -- there might be in py3k).

If you just want to be able to write x[i,j] instead of
x[i][j], there are two things you can do:

a) use a dict instead of lists (the key is a tuple)

b) write your own wrapper class with __getitem__ and
   __setitem__ methods that take a tuple.
