I'm not sure how far back it goes, but at least from 2.4 forward

I don't think you do understand what's happening.
What's happening is the basic application of name binding in Python:
--> C = anything
whatever C was bound to before, it no longer

Alternatively, you could call one of the other methods in the class.
But since you gave us no clues, I'm shouldn't guess what it was called.
But if I were to make such a class, I might use slicing:
C[:] = [57, 50, 59, 60]

You cannot override assignment of local variables. To get around it,
use slicing as Dave

I have a class that contains a list of items
I can set items using __setitem__ but if i want to set the while list, i
changes the variable from a myclass to a list. How can i accomblish this
Example
>>>C = myclass()
>>>C[0] = 57
>>>type(C)
myclass
>>> C = [57,58,59,60]
>>>type(C)
list
