I don't think len() is a good idea for this, it's not obvious enough (why the number of tasks and not the number of threads/processes, for example?). Also, len() can make the object evaluate false-y in a boolean context, if len() returns 0. A dedicated method would probably be ok, though. With the caveat that the return value would always be an approximation of the "actual" value.
