I'm at a loss.  Python ships with sample code.  libxml2dom ships with sample
code.  Somewhere in there must be code that evaluates the length (hint) of a
list.

What search terms are you googling for?  The 3rd link returned from Google,
searching for "python list size" is this one.

Yes, this is a simple/basic question.  It is so simple/basic, that it gets
discussed in just about every Python tutorial within the first 3 pages.

Didn't I post a message earlier describing dir and help?  You need to do
some basic reading, man!
