Firing the interpreter:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> heck_of_a_list = []
>>> len(heck_of_a_l ist)[/color][/color][/color]
0[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>>[/color][/color][/color]


Maybe you would like to peruse the tutorial that comes with Python.
It's a very nice intro and it may answer some (a lot?) of your newbie
