STINNER Victor added the comment: It looks like os.stat() and os.path.getsize() converts the list into a byte string. It does something like:
>>> x=[]; y=bytes(x); print(y.decode("ascii")) >>> x=[65, 66, 67]; y=bytes(x); print(y.decode("ascii")) ABC >>> x=[None]; y=bytes(x); print(y.decode("ascii")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'NoneType' object cannot be interpreted as an integer ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
