General q. `bout subclassing

> How do I subclass fundamental stuff like lists etc,

You can't. But you can subclass a UserList (I don't like this either.)

>>> from UserList import UserList
>>> class my_list(UserList):
...     pass
...
>>> l = my_list()
>>> l.append(1)
>>> l.append(2)
>>> l.append(3)
>>> l
[1, 2, 3]
>>> ^D
