In case you don't already know: in Python (and RPython), lists are
implemented as
resizeable arrays, i.e. they look more like a C++ std::vector and not
a std::list.
This said, IIRC RPython has special code for fixed-size lists.
I think you just have to avoid all resizing functions.
This means that the list must be created with statements like
array_of_ints = [0] * 32
array_of_objects = [None] * 32
