Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: Why change importlib's API and instead add to it? You could add the requisite path_size() method to get the value, and assume 0 means unsupported (at least until some future version where a deprecation warning about not requiring file size comes about). But I don't see how you can get around not exposing these details as stored in some API, whether it is by method or object attribute since you can't assume stat results since support for non-file storage back-ends would be unduly burdened.
