You can still use a class:

 >>> import UserList
 >>> class day(UserList.UserList):
 >>>    def __init__(self, name):
 >>>      self.name = name
 >>>    def set(self, items):
 >>>      self.data = items
 >>> instance = day([1,2,3])
 >>> instance
[1, 2, 3]
 >>> instance.data = [3,4]
 >>> instance
[3, 4]
 >>> instance.set([3,4,5])
 >>> instance
[3, 4, 5]
