Python 2.7.3 (default, Jul 24 2012, 10:05:38)

So that's what 'os.stat' is. Why are you testing whether that's equal to
b"0"*1000000?

(You may find the documentation on os.stat at
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.stat helpful; it's a function
which takes a path as its argument, and returns an object with some
relevant attributes.)
