How would I create a custom list class in python?

Question

I would like to write a custom list class in Python (let\'s call it MyCollection) where I can eventually call:

for x in myCollectionInstance:
           


        

Answer 1

You could extend the list class:

class MyList(list):

    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(MyList, self).__init__(args[0])
        # Do something with the other args (and potentially kwars)

Example usage:

a = MyList((1,2,3), 35, 22)
print(a)
for x in a:
    print(x)

Expected output:

[1, 2, 3]
1
2
3
