Sure, it's perfectly possible.  For example:

class Object(object):
    " insert your class's body here "

alist = []     # an initially-empty list

# make a new one and contextually append it
alist.append(Object())

# make one, then separately append it
anobj = Object()
alist.append(anobj)

# make seven more then append them
alist.extend([ Object() for j in range(7) ])

# make a new one and put it in first place for a change
alist.insert(Object())


and so on, and so forth.  In Python, just about everything
is "first-class" -- you can always hold things in lists or
tuples, or as values in dictionaries, pass them as function
arguments, return them as function results -- no problem.
