If n is your number of vertices, you can for instance create a list of n empty lists as follows:

sage: L = [[] for _ in range(n)]

And then you can access the (empty) list number i (for i from 0 to n-1) using:

sage: L[i]
[]
sage: L[i].append(0)
sage: L[i]
[0]

I don't know what you mean by "two dimensional list". As defined in my answer, L is a "list of list", so in some sense can be thought of as "two dimensional". To access the third element of the second list in L, you would for instance write L[1][2].
