Thank you both for your responses. I do have one other question if
I use the method both of you describe. How do I go about
implementing slicing and indexing for an object in python? A list
object innately has them and that is really why I wanted to use it.
I would appreciate it if you can point me to something.

You can use __getslice__, __setslice__ etc. methods. They're detailed
in the list docstrings. Here's an example of using __getslice__
__getslice __setslice__ and __delslice__ have been deprecated since
version 2.0, seven versions ago.
http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getslice__
You should use __getitem__ __setitem__ and __delitem__, and detect if
your argument is an integer or a slice object, and behave accordingly.
http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getitem__
Oh right, 2.6 doesn't say anything about it in the docstrings.
