Listing the top-size files with python

This Python script is designed to list the top files by size on a file drive (under Windows-OS), as determined by the user.

In order to use this script, you must have Python 3 installed on your system. You will also need to have the os and sys modules installed.

Run the script from the command line using python listTopFilesizedFiles.py.
Enter the path of the drive you would like to search when prompted.
Enter the number of files you would like to see listed when prompted.
Choose an action from the menu that appears:
- Enter a file number to open that file’s location in Windows Explorer
- Enter 0 to exit the program
- Enter r to run the script again from the beginning
If you choose to open a file location, a Windows Explorer window will open to the directory containing the selected file.
If you choose to exit the program, the script will end.
If you choose to run the script again, you will be prompted to enter a new drive path and number of files to list.
