That's what the PyName function annotation is for:

int size( ) const /PyName=__len__/;

or, if you want to also retain the original name of the
function simply add 

int __len__( ) const
%MethodCode
    Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
    sipRes = sipCpp->size( );
    Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
%End

In the special case of the__len__()-function there's
(since 4.10.3) even a special annotation for that:

int size( ) const /__len__/;
