My problem is to find out how to deal with a class which has
__getitem__ but no __len__.

The documentation suggests that the length of a sequence can always
be obtained by len().
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html

It says that plainly: "The built-in function len() returns the number of items of a sequence. "

https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html#collections-abstract-base-classes

says that a Sequence has both __getitem__ and __len__.

I am surprised that a C-API function calls something a 'sequence' without it having __len__.
