The :mod:`operator` module also defines tools for generalized attribute and item
lookups. These are useful for making fast field extractors as arguments for
:func:`map`, :func:`sorted`, :meth:`itertools.groupby`, or other functions that
considered to be false in a Boolean context.
+.. method:: object.__length_hint__(self)

+ Called to implement ``operator.length_hint``. Should return an estimated
+ length for the object (which may be greater or less than the actual length).
+ The length must be an integer ``>=`` 0. This method is purely an
+ optimization and is never required for correctness.
