Well, I don't think it's really the good place :). comp.lang.python 
should be better.

Not a very "pythonic" way to think. I might do this way :

<code>

class MyData:
    def __init__(self; key1, key2, key3, key4) :
        self.key1 = key1
        ...
        self.key4 = key4
        self.array1 = []
        self.array2 = []
        ...
        self.array21 = []  
    # END __init
# END MyData

ky = (a, b, c, d)
data1 = MyData(ky)

data1.array12.append(foo)

</code>
