len() and PEP 3000

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

The function len() is not mentioned in the Python 3000 PEPs.

I suggest that at least lists, tupples, sets, dictionaries and strings
get a len() method. I think the len function can stay, removing it
would break to much code. But adding the method, would bu usefull.

Yes, I know, that I can call .__len__() but that is ugly.

I have read the FAQ to the len function:
