This doesn't do what you think it does.

"legs, stomach" is a statement and is not defining any variables at all.

Presumably you've also got variables named legs and stomach in the
module's scope - as I'd expect to see a NameError : name 'legs' is not
defined.

(I'd also expect a SyntaxError from having an empty __init__ function
body)

You probably want do write something like this:

class Centipede(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.legs = []
        self.stomach = []
