根据之前所有的答案，以下是我的看法。它是一个以字节为单位以整数形式存储文件大小的对象。但是当你尝试打印对象时，你会自动得到一个人类可读的版本。

class Filesize(object):
    """
    Container for a size in bytes with a human readable representation
    Use it like this::

        >>> size = Filesize(123123123)
        >>> print size
        '117.4 MB'
    """

    chunk = 1024
    units = ['bytes', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB']
    precisions = [0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2]

    def __init__(self, size):
        self.size = size

    def __int__(self):
        return self.size

    def __str__(self):
        if self.size == 0: return '0 bytes'
        from math import log
        unit = self.units[min(int(log(self.size, self.chunk)), len(self.units) - 1)]
        return self.format(unit)

    def format(self, unit):
        if unit not in self.units: raise Exception("Not a valid file size unit: %s" % unit)
        if self.size == 1 and unit == 'bytes': return '1 byte'
        exponent = self.units.index(unit)
        quotient = float(self.size) / self.chunk**exponent
        precision = self.precisions[exponent]
        format_string = '{:.%sf} {}' % (precision)
        return format_string.format(quotient, unit)

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'

这里是一个在线lambda，没有任何导入来转换为人类可读的文件大小。以字节为单位传递值。

to_human = lambda v : str(v >> ((max(v.bit_length()-1, 0)//10)*10)) +["", "K", "M", "G", "T", "P", "E"][max(v.bit_length()-1, 0)//10]
>>> to_human(1024)
'1K'
>>> to_human(1024*1024*3)
'3M'

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
  # 87533 -> 85.5KiB
  # 98654 -> 96.3 KB
  # 352 -> 352.0B
  # 76383285 -> 72.84MB
  # 763832854988542 -> 694.70TB
  # 763832854988542665 -> 678.4199PB

下面是一个使用while的选项:

def number_format(n):
   n2, n3 = n, 0
   while n2 >= 1e3:
      n2 /= 1e3
      n3 += 1
   return '%.3f' % n2 + ('', ' k', ' M', ' G')[n3]

s = number_format(9012345678)
print(s == '9.012 G')

为了以人类可读的形式获取文件大小，我创建了这个函数:

import os

def get_size(path):
    size = os.path.getsize(path)
    if size < 1024:
        return f"{size} bytes"
    elif size < pow(1024,2):
        return f"{round(size/1024, 2)} KB"
    elif size < pow(1024,3):
        return f"{round(size/(pow(1024,2)), 2)} MB"
    elif size < pow(1024,4):
        return f"{round(size/(pow(1024,3)), 2)} GB"

>>> get_size("a.txt")
1.4KB
