Size of list

[Ernesto]

for line in PM_File_Handle.readlines():
PM_fields = line.split(';')

# Is there a way to get the size of PM_Fields here ?
# Something like

size = PM_fields.size( )

# I could not find this attribute in the python docs. Thanks

lst = [1,2,3]3

in genereal all objects which implements __len__
can be passed to built-in function len<built-in function len>

just to give one example how this can be used
.... def __len__(self):
.... print "this instance has __len__"
.... return 100
....this instance has __len__
100this instance has __len__
100
