Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#len * does not specify the 
exception.  In such cases, we occasionally change exception in x.y.0 releases 
without prior notice other than News and What's New.  Also, I think 
unnecessarily exposing a compile-switch dependent internal detail, as now, is 
almost a bug.  So +1 to applying in 3.7

* The doc does not specify that 'length' cannot be non-negative.  Perhaps it 
should, so no-one will think that they can hijack '__len__' to return something 
that is not a length, as usually understood.
