如果你使用的是Windows操作系统，你可以:

通过以下方式安装pywin32模块:

PIP安装pywin32

然后编码如下:

import win32com.client as com

def get_folder_size(path):
   try:
       fso = com.Dispatch("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
       folder = fso.GetFolder(path)
       size = str(round(folder.Size / 1048576))
       print("Size: " + size + " MB")
   except Exception as e:
       print("Error --> " + str(e))

python3.5 +

from pathlib import Path

def get_size(folder: str) -> int:
    return sum(p.stat().st_size for p in Path(folder).rglob('*'))

用法::

In [6]: get_size('/etc/not-exist-path')
Out[6]: 0
In [7]: get_size('.')
Out[7]: 12038689
In [8]: def filesize(size: int) -> str:
   ...:     for unit in ("B", "K", "M", "G", "T"):
   ...:         if size < 1024:
   ...:             break
   ...:         size /= 1024
   ...:     return f"{size:.1f}{unit}"
   ...:

In [9]: filesize(get_size('.'))
Out[9]: '11.5M'

使用库sh: du模块执行:

pip install sh

import sh
print( sh.du("-s", ".") )
91154728        .

如果您想传递asterix，请使用此处描述的glob。

要转换human readable中的值，请使用humanize:

pip install humanize

import humanize
print( humanize.naturalsize( 91157384 ) )
91.2 MB

问题的第二部分

def human(size):

    B = "B"
    KB = "KB" 
    MB = "MB"
    GB = "GB"
    TB = "TB"
    UNITS = [B, KB, MB, GB, TB]
    HUMANFMT = "%f %s"
    HUMANRADIX = 1024.

    for u in UNITS[:-1]:
        if size < HUMANRADIX : return HUMANFMT % (size, u)
        size /= HUMANRADIX

    return HUMANFMT % (size,  UNITS[-1])

我在这里有点晚(和新)，但我选择使用subprocess模块和Linux中的'du'命令行来检索文件夹大小的准确值，单位为MB。我必须使用if和elif用于根文件夹，否则子进程会由于返回的非零值而引发错误。

import subprocess
import os

#
# get folder size
#
def get_size(self, path):
    if os.path.exists(path) and path != '/':
        cmd = str(subprocess.check_output(['sudo', 'du', '-s', path])).\
            replace('b\'', '').replace('\'', '').split('\\t')[0]
        return float(cmd) / 1000000
    elif os.path.exists(path) and path == '/':
        cmd = str(subprocess.getoutput(['sudo du -s /'])). \
            replace('b\'', '').replace('\'', '').split('\n')
        val = cmd[len(cmd) - 1].replace('/', '').replace(' ', '')
        return float(val) / 1000000
    else: raise ValueError

Python 3.6+递归文件夹/文件大小使用os.scandir。和@blakev的回答一样强大，但更短，采用EAFP python风格。

import os

def size(path, *, follow_symlinks=False):
    try:
        with os.scandir(path) as it:
            return sum(size(entry, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks) for entry in it)
    except NotADirectoryError:
        return os.stat(path, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks).st_size
