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

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')

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

我最近提出了一个避免循环的版本，使用log2来确定大小顺序，作为后缀列表的移位和索引:

from math import log2

_suffixes = ['bytes', 'KiB', 'MiB', 'GiB', 'TiB', 'PiB', 'EiB', 'ZiB', 'YiB']

def file_size(size):
    # determine binary order in steps of size 10 
    # (coerce to int, // still returns a float)
    order = int(log2(size) / 10) if size else 0
    # format file size
    # (.4g results in rounded numbers for exact matches and max 3 decimals, 
    # should never resort to exponent values)
    return '{:.4g} {}'.format(size / (1 << (order * 10)), _suffixes[order])

不过，它的可读性很可能被认为是非python化的。

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'

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"
