In Blender (v2.48), how can I determine the length of a path (in Blender units) from a Python script?
The value is available from the GUI: With the path selected, the Editing panel contains a PrintLen button. The length appears to the right when the button is pressed.
How can I obtain this value programmatically from a Python script running in Blender?
Note: I'm not interested in the PathLen value which is in frames, not Blender units.

The best idea I've found is to create a mesh from the path and sum the length of the segments (edges).
