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]

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

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

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'

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。

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'
