You read the complete content of the file here. size will not contain the 
length of the file, but the complete file data. What you want is either 
len(s.read()) (which is sloooooooooow), or have a look at os.path.getsize().

This appends the complete file to the list. And as such should explain the 
memory usage you're seeing...

HTH!
