I answered off list (because besically I'm an idiot). So if you like, read up the current news. :)

I did make something myself after i could not find anything, just because it was fun to do :-) I did saw array but it was not for object, only for small types like int, char, etc to be used for quick but efficient buffers of raw data (at least it looks like that). The list I created uses a strong type check to make sure all objects in the list are of the same type, like ol = objlist.ObjList(class_name = SomeClass) Now only classes that are an instance of SomeClass are allowed in the array, ObjList mimics a normal list, it can index, iterate, find, delete, append items so it was basically a drop-in replacement for my _list = [] solution If you are interested i can send you the source. I created a py.test module as well to test every method intensively.
