simply use list comprehension , range() function.

my_list = [1, 2, 3, ..., 40] array = [[my_list[j*5 + i] in range(5)] j in range(8)] 

you can use function display matrix:

for row in array:     print(row) 

if need matrix "nicely" displayed, can use happyleapsecond's solution:

print('\n'.join([''.join(['{:4}'.format(item) item in row])        row in array]))
