How do you allocate 25 memory spaces in a list, in Python?

Question

In java it would be: int Bit_list[] = new int Bit_list [25];

I can get it done with a loop and append like this:

Bit_list = ['x']

"""
        loop to make space in memory for Bit_list
"""

a = 0
while  (a != 21):

    appd = 'x'
    Bit_list.append(appd)

    a  += 1

Is there a better way?
