I think what you want is this (not tested):
class master:
def __init__(self, list):
self.count = len(list)
for entry in list:
self.__dict__[entry]= []
This will get you master class with three attributes
a = master(list)
a.one
a.two
a.three
each containing an empty list. You can then do things
like:
a.one.append(something)
a.three.append(something)
