You are using i as the loop variable and the list comprehension variable at the same time
You have not declared a (visibly). Declare a = [] and use list.append.

Try this:

a = []
for _ in range(2):
    a.append([int(i) for i in input().split()])

Declare a to be empty initially. Then call a.append to append new sublists to your list.
