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'

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')

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'

如果有人想知道，要将@Sridhar Ratnakumar的答案转换回字节，您可以执行以下操作:

import math

def format_back_to_bytes(value):
    for power, unit in enumerate(["", "Ki", "Mi", "Gi", "Ti", "Pi", "Ei", "Zi"]):
        if value[-3:-1] == unit:
            return round(float(value[:-3])*math.pow(2, 10*power))

用法:

>>> format_back_to_bytes('212.4GiB')
228062763418

一个拥有你所寻找的所有功能的库似乎是人性化的。Humanize.naturalsize()似乎可以做您所寻找的所有事情。

示例代码(python 3.10)

import humanize

disk_sizes_list = [1, 100, 999, 1000,1024, 2000,2048, 3000, 9999, 10000, 2048000000, 9990000000, 9000000000000000000000]
for size in disk_sizes_list:
    natural_size = humanize.naturalsize(size)
    binary_size = humanize.naturalsize(size, binary=True)
    print(f" {natural_size} \t| {binary_size}\t|{size}")

输出

 1 Byte     | 1 Byte    |1
 100 Bytes  | 100 Bytes |100
 999 Bytes  | 999 Bytes |999
 1.0 kB     | 1000 Bytes    |1000
 1.0 kB     | 1.0 KiB   |1024
 2.0 kB     | 2.0 KiB   |2000
 2.0 kB     | 2.0 KiB   |2048
 3.0 kB     | 2.9 KiB   |3000
 10.0 kB    | 9.8 KiB   |9999
 10.0 kB    | 9.8 KiB   |10000
 2.0 GB     | 1.9 GiB   |2048000000
 10.0 GB    | 9.3 GiB   |9990000000
 9.0 ZB     | 7.6 ZiB   |9000000000000000000000

“人类友好”项目有助于解决这一问题。

import humanfriendly
humanfriendly.format_size(1024)
