shadows the builtin 'len' function.

And here's your problem - 'len' is now bound to the result of the 
previous call to len(text).

Hint : Python's functions, classes and modules are objects too, and 
don't live in a distinct namespace. So _don't_ use builtin's types / 
functions / etc names as identifiers.
