My answer is not relative to IPython but you may use the os library in Python, it’s very simple as well. More specifically, you can get the size of a file using

import os
size_bytes = os.stat(<put_file_name_here>).st_size

Note: the result will be in bytes so you can divide by 1 000 000 if you want the result to be in MB.
