Summary: Size command broken?

Details: I have been attempting to use the tell() and size() commands to
detect an EOF in a c datafile I am trying to load.
They appear to have the same format...f.tell() and f.size()
tell seems to be working fine, but size gives an  attribut error when I try
to get the file size out of it.  ..as in print f.size()
	I admit I am new to using Python, but I have spent much time trying to get
size to work, and it doesn't...

Comment:
Python file objects don't have a .size() method, and I have no idea why you
think they do.  If you want to know the size of a file, use the function
os.path.getsize().  For newbie questions (which are welcome!), try the
Tutor list or the newsgroup comp.lang.python; the bug database is for
bugs.
