This error message gives a good hint what's wrong with your code snippet.
>>> f = open('tmp.txt')
>>> os.path.getsize(f)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/posixpath.py", line 142, in getsize
return os.stat(filename).st_size
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, file found
Something expected a string instead of a file object.
>>> os.path.getsize("tmp.txt")
