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)

这是我的版本。它不使用for循环。它具有常数复杂度O(1)，理论上比这里使用for循环的答案更有效。

from math import log
unit_list = zip(['bytes', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB'], [0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2])
def sizeof_fmt(num):
    """Human friendly file size"""
    if num > 1:
        exponent = min(int(log(num, 1024)), len(unit_list) - 1)
        quotient = float(num) / 1024**exponent
        unit, num_decimals = unit_list[exponent]
        format_string = '{:.%sf} {}' % (num_decimals)
        return format_string.format(quotient, unit)
    if num == 0:
        return '0 bytes'
    if num == 1:
        return '1 byte'

为了更清楚地说明发生了什么，我们可以省略字符串格式化的代码。以下是真正起作用的台词:

exponent = int(log(num, 1024))
quotient = num / 1024**exponent
unit_list[exponent]

总有一个这样的人。今天轮到我了。这是一行代码——如果算上函数签名的话是两行。

def human_size(bytes, units=[' bytes','KB','MB','GB','TB', 'PB', 'EB']):
    """ Returns a human readable string representation of bytes """
    return str(bytes) + units[0] if bytes < 1024 else human_size(bytes>>10, units[1:])

>>> human_size(123)
123 bytes
>>> human_size(123456789)
117GB

如果你需要大于1艾字节的大小，那就有点麻烦了:

def human_size(bytes, units=[' bytes','KB','MB','GB','TB', 'PB', 'EB']):
    return str(bytes) + units[0] if bytes < 1024 else human_size(bytes>>10, units[1:]) if units[1:] else f'{bytes>>10}ZB'

其中一个库是hurry.filesize。

>>> from hurry.filesize import alternative
>>> size(1, system=alternative)
'1 byte'
>>> size(10, system=alternative)
'10 bytes'
>>> size(1024, system=alternative)
'1 KB'

使用1000或kibibytes的幂将更符合标准:

def sizeof_fmt(num, use_kibibyte=True):
    base, suffix = [(1000.,'B'),(1024.,'iB')][use_kibibyte]
    for x in ['B'] + map(lambda x: x+suffix, list('kMGTP')):
        if -base < num < base:
            return "%3.1f %s" % (num, x)
        num /= base
    return "%3.1f %s" % (num, x)

附注:永远不要相信一个以K(大写)后缀打印数千的库。

如果你安装了Django，你也可以试试filesizeformat:

from django.template.defaultfilters import filesizeformat
filesizeformat(1073741824)

=>

"1.0 GB"
