I would translate it to

box.items -> box.GetAllItems()
box.items = itemlist -> box.SetAllItems(itemlist)
box.item[idx] -> box.GetItemAtPos(idx)
box.item[idx] = new_item -> box.SetItemAtPos(idx, new_item)

Yes you have 2 properties now but it is fairly easy to remember that
items is always getting or setting all of them and item is always
getting or setting a single one
