This is just a list of class elements ? no ?
class lm:
   def __init__(self, last=None,first=None,age=0):
       self.lastname=last
       self.firstname=first
       self.age=age

then ..
list_lm=[]
a=lm('jerome','VACHER',29)
list_lm.append(a)
list_lm.append(lm('paul','DUBOIS',45))
a[0].lastname='jerome'

Is that you want ?
