    def pascals_triangle(n):
        x=[[1]]
        for i in range(n-1):
            x.append([sum(i) for i in zip([0]+x[-1],x[-1]+[0])])
        return x
Call it:

    for x in pascals_triangle(10):
        print('{0:^39}'.format(x))

Output:

                      [1]                  
                    [1, 1]                 
                   [1, 2, 1]               
                 [1, 3, 3, 1]              
                [1, 4, 6, 4, 1]            
             [1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1]          
           [1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1]        
         [1, 7, 21, 35, 35, 21, 7, 1]      
       [1, 8, 28, 56, 70, 56, 28, 8, 1]    
    [1, 9, 36, 84, 126, 126, 84, 36, 9, 1]
