Otherwise, use some combination of os.walk() and os.stat(), whereby you _don't_ use the stat.st_size field to get the file size (on disk) but rather use stat.st_blocks*stat.st_blksize to get it, as you might come across so called sparse files which are bigger than their on-disk representation. For explanations, see: http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/os-file-dir.html (entries for stat() and walk()) --- Heiko. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
