Once you have written a good amount of Python code you can understand
that a len() function, that calls the __len__ method of objects, is
better. It allows you to write:
sorted(seq, key=len)
Instead, if you have a len attribute you need:
sorted(seq, key=attrgetter("len"))
Or even:
sorted(seq, key=lambda x: x.len)
