Although len() is spelled like a function call, in spirit it's an operator, and it behaves like any other operator in Python. Never mind why len() is an operator and not a method in Python, the point is, just as operators like + doesn't make a language less object- oriented (C++ would be very surprised to find out that it's not OO), neither do operator functions like len(). Having said that, I encourage you to understanda a language for what it is, not for whatever computer science buzzword labels it has.
