You could try something like this.

#!/usr/bin/env python

class Response:
    def __init__(self, name, age, iData, sData):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
        self.iData = iData
        self.sData = sData

def sourceOfResponses():
    return [["you", 42, [1, 2, 3], ["foo", "bar", "baz"]],
            ["me", 23, [1, 2, 3], ["ham", "spam", "eggs"]]]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    responses = []
    for input in sourceOfResponses:
        response = Response(input.name, input.age,
                            input.iData, input.sData)
        reponses.append(response)
