Media Wiki API has parameter to fetch the size of each revision history.
But the drawback is that only 500 entries can be fetched at once.
Pywikibot allows us to scrap all revision history data at once using Page.revisions()
but there is no parameter to get the size.

| [IMPR] rewrite Revision class | pywikibot/core | master | +233 -203 |
see an old implementation in rPWBC06103d9ca78f but just WIP. I'll try to update it soon.
Change 341342 had a related patch set uploaded (by Xqt; owner: Xqt):
[pywikibot/core@master] [WIP][IMPR] rewrite Revision class
@PythonMonster: The path above is still WIP but you can try an review it. The size and some other data is provided either as attribute or as item, e.g.
>>> import pwb, pywikibot as py >>> s = py.Site() >>> p = py.Page(s, 'user:xqt/Test') >>> g = p.revisions(content=True, total=1) >>> d = next(g) >>> d.size 18 >>> d['size'] 18
