Yep. You're essentially extending integer class by adding some extra functionality onto it.

How about
: create a new list object such that len, map and filter are methods of the class. e.g.
mylist = advanced_list(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
print mylist.len()
print mylist.filter(lambda x : (x % 2) == 0)
print mylist.map(lambda x: x * 2)
Metaclasses, types, and the __new__ method are also some interesting topics to study. For instance, did you know that the type method can also be used to construct new classes dynamically?
