Post some code.  perhaps the answer is obvious...


for example


>>> class MyList:
...     def __init__(self):
...             self.list=[]          
...     def append(self, item):
...             self.list.append(item)
... 
>>> ml=MyList()
>>> ml.append(1)
>>> ml.list
[1]
>>> 

would apear to work?
