This appears to be an integer expressed (presumably) in base 10 with 6 
digits

This appears to be a python list of 7 elements, with the first and the 
the third through seventh elements corresponding to the first and the 
second through sixth most significant digits respectively of the 
previously discussed integer.

I can't actually see any direct method of creating the list given from 
the number given.

However, if I understand the intent of the question you meant to ask, you 
might find that the following code does something interesting:

x = 9876543210
y = []

while x > 0:
    y.append(x % 10)
    x = int(x / 10)

y = list(reversed(y))
print y
