Is it correct this way to inherit from a list?

I retract that.  On further testing, it is actually the __init__
method that initializes the list contents, not the __new__ method.  So
this is all you need:

class Vector(list):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(Vector, self).__init__(args)
