You need to base myclass on a list if I understand your question.
class myclass(list):
def __init__(self, *items):
# change items if needed
# initate other attributes if needed
list.__init__(self, *items)
Then the line below should work. Of course it won't do much with out
something in it. ;-)

A dictionary would be pretty much the same except subclassed from a
dictionary of course.
