But maybe you meant:
sage: R.<x> = ZZ[]
sage: f = R.random_element(); f
-10*x^5 + 2*x^4 + 6*x^3 + x^2 + x + 4
sage: f.list()
[4, 1, 1, 6, 2, -10]
or
sage: list(f)
[4, 1, 1, 6, 2, -10]
By making a list of polynomials?
sage: R.<t> = QQ[]
sage: L = [t^2+1, t^3+1, t^4+t^2-5]
sage: type(L[2])
<type 'sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_rational_flint.Polynomial_rational_flint'>
Here I assume you mean real polynomials, and not symbolic expressions that happen to be polynomials, like
sage: x^2+1
x^2 + 1
sage: type(_)
<type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>

please clarify your question
Thanks for the answers posted above. Though not directly resolving my intended question due to the confusing statement of my original post, they made me realize I need to declare the list first, like p = [], just like in Python, then append the polynomials or anything else for that matter, one by one, with say p.append(polynomial).
