Either you create a class and use __init__:
class S:
 def __init__(self, name, value):
 self.name = name
 self.value = value
or create a generic object and stick attributes to it:
class Object(object):
 pass
s = Object()
s.name = ["a","b"]
s.value = [3,5]
I highly recommend going over the tutorial - http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
