I don't have a real reason for it, but my gut feeling is that the 
Pythonic way to do this is the other way around: use a list as the 
baseclass, and subclass that. Actually, what you really want (I think) 
is something based on structmember, but I don't know whether that 
allows read/write access, and whether it's available from Python code.

Hmm, even if it isn't available from Python the objc core could make it 
available. Using structmember for the various toolbox structures is 
something that's also on my to-do list, but I haven't done anything 
about it yet so I don't know how feasible this approach is.
