instead of just print list1[i] you could use print list1[i], len(list1[i]).
I'd like to point out that the usual way to iterate through objects in
a list like that would be using a for loop like so.

for item in list1:
    print item, len(item)

as you can see this is much easier to understand and is also a lot shorter.
HTH.
