[issue15972] wrong error message for os.path.getsize

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

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
