It looks like os.stat() and os.path.getsize() converts the list into a byte string. It does something like: >>> x=[]; y=bytes(x); print(y.decode("ascii")) >>> x=[65, 66, 67]; y=bytes(x); print(y.decode("ascii")) ABC >>> x=[None]; y=bytes(x); print(y.decode("ascii")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'NoneType' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
