By peterbe:

It's only better if the list is long. If the list was long you wouldn't dare to ask it's length. I.e. if the length of a sequence is 3,000,000 then doing ``len(mysequence)`` would have to loop over those 3,000,000 (assuming there isn't some builtin pointer to the length in a builtin list object.

My point is, put the cool ray-gun tools back in the box and just work with the hammer.
