subclassing list and adding other variables ?

[GrelEns]

hello,

i wonder if this possible to subclass a list or a tuple and add more
attributes ? also does someone have a link to how well define is own
iterable object ?

what i was expecting was something like :

>>> t = Test('anAttributeValue', ['el1', 'el2'])
>>> t.anAttribute
'anAttributeValue'
>>> for x in t:
       print x
el1
el2

and below are some real unsuccessful tests :

>>> class Test(tuple):
 def __init__(self, a, alist):
  self.a = a
  self = tuple(alist)


>>> t = Test(1, (1,2,3))

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#486>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    t = Test(1, (1,2,3))

>>> class Test(tuple):
 def __init__(self, (a, alist)):
  self.a = a
  self = tuple(alist)


>>> t = Test((1, (1,2,3)))
>>> t.a
1
>>> t.a = 2
>>> t.a
2
>>> len(t)
2
>>> t
(1, (1, 2, 3))
>>> t[2]
