 You need something like that:

       import urllib2
       URI='http://cekirdek.uludag.org.tr/index.html'
       file = urllib2.urlopen(URI)
       headers = file.info()
       fsize = int(headers['Content-Length'])

 HTH..

 development of programming languages
 and compilers for the last 10 years (exa).
