not sure if this is what you want to do, but does this help:
class myclass(object):
def __init__(self, a):
self.a = a
mylist = [ myclass('one'), myclass('two'), myclass('three'),
myclass('four') ]
alist = [ A.a for A in mylist ] #this is called a 'list comprehension'
print alist
output: ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']
