In 3.x, you would write __setitem__ to recognize that the 'key' is a

I'm not sure how far back it goes, but at least from 2.4 forward
__setitem__ works with slices just fine.

I have a class that contains a list of items
I can set items using __setitem__ but if i want to set the while list, i
changes the variable from a myclass to a list. How can i accomblish this
Example
C = myclass()
C[0] = 57
type(C)
myclass
C = [57,58,59,60]
type(C)

Basically i'm asking how to override, if i can, the `=`

You cannot override assignment of local variables. To get around

Alternatively, you could call one of the other methods in the class.
But since you gave us no clues, I'm shouldn't guess what it was called.
But if I were to make such a class, I might use slicing:
C[:] = [57, 50, 59, 60]
In 3.x, you would write

I don't think you do understand what's happening.
What's happening is the basic application of name binding in Python:
-- C = anything
whatever C was bound to before, it no longer
