These are questions probably better asked on the pygtk mailing list, but
I'll take a stab at it (I've never used this particular widget).  I don't
see any obvious "length" method, so I think you'll just have to keep track
of the size as you call the append() and insert() methods to add rows to the
widget.  Both return the offset of the row just added as the script below
demonstrates.  (I use the Gtk 2.0 API, so you may have to fiddle the script
to make it work with the older API.)

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    import gtk

    win = gtk.Window()
    win.connect("destroy", gtk.mainquit)
    vb = gtk.VBox()
    win.add(vb)

    cl = gtk.CList(1)
    items = "foo bar baz".split()
    for item in items:
	print "row:", cl.append([item])
    vb.pack_start_defaults(cl)

    b = gtk.Button("quit")
    b.connect("clicked", gtk.mainquit)
    vb.pack_start(b)

    win.show_all()
    gtk.mainloop()
