How about a defaultdict approach?
from collections import defaultdict
dataArray = defaultdict(lambda : [[],[],[],[],[]])
dataArray[1001][3].append('x')
dataArray[42000][2].append('y')
for k in sorted(dataArray.keys()):
print "%6d : %s" % (k,dataArray[k])
prints:
1001 : [[], [], [], ['x'], []]
42000 : [[], [], ['y'], [], []]
