参考Sridhar Ratnakumar的回答，更新为:

def formatSize(sizeInBytes, decimalNum=1, isUnitWithI=False, sizeUnitSeperator=""):
  """format size to human readable string"""
  # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Specific_units_of_IEC_60027-2_A.2_and_ISO.2FIEC_80000
  # K=kilo, M=mega, G=giga, T=tera, P=peta, E=exa, Z=zetta, Y=yotta
  sizeUnitList = ['','K','M','G','T','P','E','Z']
  largestUnit = 'Y'

  if isUnitWithI:
    sizeUnitListWithI = []
    for curIdx, eachUnit in enumerate(sizeUnitList):
      unitWithI = eachUnit
      if curIdx >= 1:
        unitWithI += 'i'
      sizeUnitListWithI.append(unitWithI)

    # sizeUnitListWithI = ['','Ki','Mi','Gi','Ti','Pi','Ei','Zi']
    sizeUnitList = sizeUnitListWithI

    largestUnit += 'i'

  suffix = "B"
  decimalFormat = "." + str(decimalNum) + "f" # ".1f"
  finalFormat = "%" + decimalFormat + sizeUnitSeperator + "%s%s" # "%.1f%s%s"
  sizeNum = sizeInBytes
  for sizeUnit in sizeUnitList:
      if abs(sizeNum) < 1024.0:
        return finalFormat % (sizeNum, sizeUnit, suffix)
      sizeNum /= 1024.0
  return finalFormat % (sizeNum, largestUnit, suffix)

示例输出如下:

def testKb():
  kbSize = 3746
  kbStr = formatSize(kbSize)
  print("%s -> %s" % (kbSize, kbStr))

def testI():
  iSize = 87533
  iStr = formatSize(iSize, isUnitWithI=True)
  print("%s -> %s" % (iSize, iStr))

def testSeparator():
  seperatorSize = 98654
  seperatorStr = formatSize(seperatorSize, sizeUnitSeperator=" ")
  print("%s -> %s" % (seperatorSize, seperatorStr))

def testBytes():
  bytesSize = 352
  bytesStr = formatSize(bytesSize)
  print("%s -> %s" % (bytesSize, bytesStr))

def testMb():
  mbSize = 76383285
  mbStr = formatSize(mbSize, decimalNum=2)
  print("%s -> %s" % (mbSize, mbStr))

def testTb():
  tbSize = 763832854988542
  tbStr = formatSize(tbSize, decimalNum=2)
  print("%s -> %s" % (tbSize, tbStr))

def testPb():
  pbSize = 763832854988542665
  pbStr = formatSize(pbSize, decimalNum=4)
  print("%s -> %s" % (pbSize, pbStr))


def demoFormatSize():
  testKb()
  testI()
  testSeparator()
  testBytes()
  testMb()
  testTb()
  testPb()

  # 3746 -> 3.7KB

通过简单的实现(使用f-strings，所以Python 3.6+)解决上述“任务太小，不需要库”的问题:

def sizeof_fmt(num, suffix="B"):
    for unit in ["", "Ki", "Mi", "Gi", "Ti", "Pi", "Ei", "Zi"]:
        if abs(num) < 1024.0:
            return f"{num:3.1f}{unit}{suffix}"
        num /= 1024.0
    return f"{num:.1f}Yi{suffix}"

支持:

所有当前已知的二进制前缀 负数和正数 大于1000约字节的数字 任意单位(也许你喜欢用吉比特来计数!)

例子:

>>> sizeof_fmt(168963795964)
'157.4GiB'

这将在几乎任何情况下做你需要做的事情，是可选参数自定义的，正如你所看到的，几乎是自文档化的:

from math import log
def pretty_size(n,pow=0,b=1024,u='B',pre=['']+[p+'i'for p in'KMGTPEZY']):
    pow,n=min(int(log(max(n*b**pow,1),b)),len(pre)-1),n*b**pow
    return "%%.%if %%s%%s"%abs(pow%(-pow-1))%(n/b**float(pow),pre[pow],u)

示例输出:

>>> pretty_size(42)
'42 B'

>>> pretty_size(2015)
'2.0 KiB'

>>> pretty_size(987654321)
'941.9 MiB'

>>> pretty_size(9876543210)
'9.2 GiB'

>>> pretty_size(0.5,pow=1)
'512 B'

>>> pretty_size(0)
'0 B'

高级定制:

>>> pretty_size(987654321,b=1000,u='bytes',pre=['','kilo','mega','giga'])
'987.7 megabytes'

>>> pretty_size(9876543210,b=1000,u='bytes',pre=['','kilo','mega','giga'])
'9.9 gigabytes'

此代码与Python 2和Python 3兼容。对读者来说，遵从PEP8是一个练习。记住，漂亮的是输出。

更新:

如果你需要数千个逗号，只需应用明显的扩展:

def prettier_size(n,pow=0,b=1024,u='B',pre=['']+[p+'i'for p in'KMGTPEZY']):
    r,f=min(int(log(max(n*b**pow,1),b)),len(pre)-1),'{:,.%if} %s%s'
    return (f%(abs(r%(-r-1)),pre[r],u)).format(n*b**pow/b**float(r))

例如:

>>> pretty_units(987654321098765432109876543210)
'816,968.5 YiB'

该功能在Boltons中可用，这对于大多数项目来说都是一个非常方便的库。

>>> bytes2human(128991)
'126K'
>>> bytes2human(100001221)
'95M'
>>> bytes2human(0, 2)
'0.00B'

你应该用humanize。

>>> humanize.naturalsize(1000000)
'1.0 MB'
>>> humanize.naturalsize(1000000, binary=True)
'976.6 KiB'
>>> humanize.naturalsize(1000000, gnu=True)
'976.6K'
