import os
if os.stat("file.exe").st_size == 7401472L:
    print "File Size: 7,MB 401,KB 472,BY"
else: print "File wrong size"

This will use the working directory. Use “print os.getcwd()” to get the working directory.

As for checking if a file exists, I’m not sure.

To check if it exists, try this:


try:
    file = open("<the file's location on your computer>", "r")

    # Do the stuff you want it to do with the file here

    file.close()

except:

    # Do this if the file's not there

It tries to open the file in read mode, and if it can’t do that, it goes on the the “except:” bit.
