Python quit function if a file size is greater than 5kb

Question

I'm not sure how to use the getsize method. What I'd want to do with it is to quit the program if the file size is greater that the specified size.

What exactly is the problem? Do you know how to get a file's size? Do you know how to quit the script? Do you know about if-statements? — Aran-Fey, Jan 12 '18 at 19:37

You can check the file size by using the code from this answer.

import os, sys
if os.path.getsize("/path/isa_005.mp3") > 5000:
    sys.exit(0)
