It's educational to look at the code anyway <wink>. Here it is, from
Python's listobject.c:
static int
list_length(PyListObject *a)
{
return a->ob_size;
}
People shouldn't be afraid to look at C code -- it won't bite them,
and it's often the easiest way to get a definitive answer about the
implementation. OTOH, people should be afraid to _write_ C code: it
will bite you every time <0.9 wink>.
