In fact if you look at the docstring for os.walk there is an example

Hi all,
Essentially all I want to know the size of a directory, and the size
of a zipped tarball so that I can compute/report the compression ratio.
The code I have seems hideous, but it seems to work. Surely there is an
easier,more elegant way to do this?
dir_size = os.popen('du -sk somena
