You might find something like Jason Orendorff's path.py module (Google
for it) to be more elegant. With it, this works fine:
>>> from path import path
>>> path('foobar').getsize()
12345L
(But note that it's just a nice wrapper around the scattered builtin
ways of doing the same thing, in this case the os.stat().st_size
approach mentioned above. That's not a bad thing, though, IMHO.)
