If I'm reading your question correctly (remember kids, correct
grammar/spelling makes it much easier to interpret your question), it
sounds like you just want to know the length of the string.  From
http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html:

The built-in function len() returns the length of a string:

>>> s = 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'
>>> len(s)
34
