Indeed, it would be shocking if there was no way.  Have more confidence
in Python design, and you will soon be happier! :-)

The way to get the length of a list is surely documented along with lists,
but not repeated for each and every list Python offers, that would soon
become tedious.

Merely by using len(sys.argv).
