这个解决方案可能也会吸引你，这取决于你的思维方式:

from pathlib import Path    

def get_size(path = Path('.')):
    """ Gets file size, or total directory size """
    if path.is_file():
        size = path.stat().st_size
    elif path.is_dir():
        size = sum(file.stat().st_size for file in path.glob('*.*'))
    return size

def format_size(path, unit="MB"):
    """ Converts integers to common size units used in computing """
    bit_shift = {"B": 0,
            "kb": 7,
            "KB": 10,
            "mb": 17,
            "MB": 20,
            "gb": 27,
            "GB": 30,
            "TB": 40,}
    return "{:,.0f}".format(get_size(path) / float(1 << bit_shift[unit])) + " " + unit

# Tests and test results
>>> get_size("d:\\media\\bags of fun.avi")
'38 MB'
>>> get_size("d:\\media\\bags of fun.avi","KB")
'38,763 KB'
>>> get_size("d:\\media\\bags of fun.avi","kb")
'310,104 kb'

def human_readable_data_quantity(quantity, multiple=1024):
    if quantity == 0:
        quantity = +0
    SUFFIXES = ["B"] + [i + {1000: "B", 1024: "iB"}[multiple] for i in "KMGTPEZY"]
    for suffix in SUFFIXES:
        if quantity < multiple or suffix == SUFFIXES[-1]:
            if suffix == SUFFIXES[0]:
                return "%d%s" % (quantity, suffix)
            else:
                return "%.1f%s" % (quantity, suffix)
        else:
            quantity /= multiple

重复作为匆匆.filesize()替代方案提供的代码段，下面的代码段根据所使用的前缀给出不同的精度数字。它不像某些片段那样简洁，但我喜欢这样的结果。

def human_size(size_bytes):
    """
    format a size in bytes into a 'human' file size, e.g. bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB
    Note that bytes/KB will be reported in whole numbers but MB and above will have greater precision
    e.g. 1 byte, 43 bytes, 443 KB, 4.3 MB, 4.43 GB, etc
    """
    if size_bytes == 1:
        # because I really hate unnecessary plurals
        return "1 byte"

    suffixes_table = [('bytes',0),('KB',0),('MB',1),('GB',2),('TB',2), ('PB',2)]

    num = float(size_bytes)
    for suffix, precision in suffixes_table:
        if num < 1024.0:
            break
        num /= 1024.0

    if precision == 0:
        formatted_size = "%d" % num
    else:
        formatted_size = str(round(num, ndigits=precision))

    return "%s %s" % (formatted_size, suffix)

我喜欢senderle的十进制版本的固定精度，所以这里有一种与上面joctee的答案的混合(你知道你可以取非整数底数的对数吗?):

from math import log
def human_readable_bytes(x):
    # hybrid of https://stackoverflow.com/a/10171475/2595465
    #      with https://stackoverflow.com/a/5414105/2595465
    if x == 0: return '0'
    magnitude = int(log(abs(x),10.24))
    if magnitude > 16:
        format_str = '%iP'
        denominator_mag = 15
    else:
        float_fmt = '%2.1f' if magnitude % 3 == 1 else '%1.2f'
        illion = (magnitude + 1) // 3
        format_str = float_fmt + ['', 'K', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P'][illion]
    return (format_str % (x * 1.0 / (1024 ** illion))).lstrip('0')

现代Django有自模板标签filesizeformat:

将值格式化为人类可读的文件大小(即:“13 KB”，“4.1 MB”，“102字节”等)。

例如:

{{ value|filesizeformat }}

如果值是123456789，输出将是117.7 MB。

“人类友好”项目有助于解决这一问题。

import humanfriendly
humanfriendly.format_size(1024)

上面的代码将给出1KB的答案。 例子可以在这里找到。
