Question

I’m new to python programming, and I was just wondering if you can access a 2D array in python using Points/Coordinate?

Example you have a point:
point = (1,2)

and you have a matrix, then you access a certain part of the matrix using a coordinate

Matrix[point] = a sample value here

Answer 1

The popular NumPy package provides multidimensional arrays that support indexing by tuples:

import numpy
a = numpy.array([[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8]])
print a[1, 2]
point = (1, 2)
print a[point]

Without any external libraries, there is no such thing as a “two-dimensional array” in Python. There are only nested lists, as used in the call to numpy.array() above.
