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'

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')

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)

简单的两行字怎么样:

def humanizeFileSize(filesize):
    p = int(math.floor(math.log(filesize, 2)/10))
    return "%.3f%s" % (filesize/math.pow(1024,p), ['B','KiB','MiB','GiB','TiB','PiB','EiB','ZiB','YiB'][p])

下面是它的工作原理:

计算log2(文件大小) 除以10得到最接近的单位。(例如，如果大小是5000字节，最接近的单位是Kb，所以答案应该是X KiB) 返回file_size/value_of_closest_unit和unit。

然而，如果filesize为0或负(因为log对于0和-ve数字是未定义的)，它就不起作用。你可以为他们添加额外的检查:

def humanizeFileSize(filesize):
    filesize = abs(filesize)
    if (filesize==0):
        return "0 Bytes"
    p = int(math.floor(math.log(filesize, 2)/10))
    return "%0.2f %s" % (filesize/math.pow(1024,p), ['Bytes','KiB','MiB','GiB','TiB','PiB','EiB','ZiB','YiB'][p])

例子:

>>> humanizeFileSize(538244835492574234)
'478.06 PiB'
>>> humanizeFileSize(-924372537)
'881.55 MiB'
>>> humanizeFileSize(0)
'0 Bytes'

—Kb与KiB有区别。KB表示1000字节，而KiB表示1024字节。KB、MB、GB都是1000的倍数，KiB、MiB、GiB等都是1024的倍数。更多信息请点击这里

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)
