Hi Richard,
List comprehensions.
Thanks.

Hi Jim,
I would be happy to help, what part is not clear? The discussion of list
comprehensions or the discussion of for loops or both?
Richard

Hi Richard,
I apologize. I find it very hard to think in code. Can you make this
explanation more english-like?
Thanks for your indulgence.
Jim

I think you are missing the errors because they just flash by on your screen
without speaking. Try running in a command shell and you can see the
errors.
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but what you have will not
work. You need to study how loops work in Python. For example in your
first loop:
for i in grid:
the first value of i is the first sublist of your list of lists e.g.
"[(0,0), (0,1)}
In the next j for loop you try to use that list as an index into a two
dimensional list. That makes no sense.
If you really want the value 4 in each location, do it in the list
comprrehension:
grid = [[4 for c in ...] for r in ...]
