Come to think of it, shouldn't the list type have an "isempty" method?

Yes. It's written:
if not aList:

As you know, that is not quite exactly the same thing. An "isempty"
method would fail if aList were an integer, and such failure might be
desirable if someone mistakenly had aList pointing to an integer.
If you're that concerned about what the type is, then you can do
explicit typechecks. Those are discouraged precisely because of
Python's dynamism. But knock yourself out.
