Add lists to class?

[Larry Bates]

I think what you want is this (not tested):

class master:
    def __init__(self, list):
        self.count = len(list)
        for entry in list:
            self.__dict__[entry]= []


This will get you master class with three attributes

a = master(list)

a.one
a.two
a.three

each containing an empty list.  You can then do things
like:

a.one.append(something)
a.three.append(something)
