Like this:

class Point(list):
    def __init__(self, x, y, z = 1):
        list.__init__(self, [x, y, z])

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        if name == 'x': return self[0]
        if name == 'y': return self[1]
        if name == 'z': return self[2]

    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        if name == 'x': self[0] = value
        if name == 'y': self[1] = value
        if name == 'z': self[2] = value

Does that show you what you need?
