Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

FWIW, I think the current wording is fine and do not want to start an 
unnecessary misadventure of finding every place we say size and replacing it 
with length.   In general, we use either term almost interchangeable (i.e. the 
size of dictionary is determined by "len(d)").

The name of sys.getsizeof() may not have been apt, but it seems to have caused 
no confusion in practice.

We do appreciate the suggestion, but will respectfully decline.
