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。

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)

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'

您将在下面发现的决不是已经发布的解决方案中性能最好或最短的解决方案。相反，它专注于一个许多其他答案都忽略的特定问题。

即输入如999_995时的情况:

Python 3.6.1 ...
...
>>> value = 999_995
>>> base = 1000
>>> math.log(value, base)
1.999999276174054

哪个，被截断为最近的整数，并应用回输入给出

>>> order = int(math.log(value, base))
>>> value/base**order
999.995

这似乎正是我们所期望的，直到我们被要求控制输出精度。这就是事情开始变得有点困难的时候。

将精度设置为2位，我们得到:

>>> round(value/base**order, 2)
1000 # K

而不是1M。

我们该如何应对呢?

当然，我们可以显式地检查它:

if round(value/base**order, 2) == base:
    order += 1

但我们能做得更好吗?在我们做最后一步之前，我们能知道订单应该怎么削减吗?

事实证明我们可以。

假设0.5十进制舍入规则，则上述if条件转化为:

导致

def abbreviate(value, base=1000, precision=2, suffixes=None):
    if suffixes is None:
        suffixes = ['', 'K', 'M', 'B', 'T']

    if value == 0:
        return f'{0}{suffixes[0]}'

    order_max = len(suffixes) - 1
    order = log(abs(value), base)
    order_corr = order - int(order) >= log(base - 0.5/10**precision, base)
    order = min(int(order) + order_corr, order_max)

    factored = round(value/base**order, precision)

    return f'{factored:,g}{suffixes[order]}'

给

>>> abbreviate(999_994)
'999.99K'
>>> abbreviate(999_995)
'1M'
>>> abbreviate(999_995, precision=3)
'999.995K'
>>> abbreviate(2042, base=1024)
'1.99K'
>>> abbreviate(2043, base=1024)
'2K'

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。

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)
