No, but this does:

class master:
	def __init__(self, lst):
		for line in list:
			setattr(self, line, [])

 From library reference section 2.1, Built-In Functions:
--8<--
setattr(	object, name, value)
	This is the counterpart of getattr(). The arguments are an object, a 
string and an arbitrary value. The string may name an existing 
attribute or a new attribute. The function assigns the value to the 
attribute, provided the object allows it. For example, setattr(x, 
'foobar', 123) is equivalent to x.foobar = 123.
