要获取一个文件的大小，可以使用os.path.getsize()

>>> import os
>>> os.path.getsize("/path/file")
35L

它以字节为单位报告。

到目前为止，建议的一些方法实现了递归，其他方法使用shell或不会生成格式整齐的结果。当您的代码对于Linux平台是一次性的，您可以像往常一样获得格式化，包括递归，作为一行程序。除了最后一行的输出，它将适用于当前版本的python2和python3:

du.py
-----
#!/usr/bin/python3
import subprocess

def du(path):
    """disk usage in human readable format (e.g. '2,1GB')"""
    return subprocess.check_output(['du','-sh', path]).split()[0].decode('utf-8')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(du('.'))

简单，高效，将工作于文件和多级目录:

$ chmod 750 du.py
$ ./du.py
2,9M

Chris的回答很好，但可以通过使用set来检查已看到的目录来使其更加惯用，这也避免了对控制流使用异常:

def directory_size(path):
    total_size = 0
    seen = set()

    for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(path):
        for f in filenames:
            fp = os.path.join(dirpath, f)

            try:
                stat = os.stat(fp)
            except OSError:
                continue

            if stat.st_ino in seen:
                continue

            seen.add(stat.st_ino)

            total_size += stat.st_size

    return total_size  # size in bytes

这个脚本告诉您CWD中哪个文件最大，还告诉您文件在哪个文件夹中。 这个脚本适用于win8和python 3.3.3 shell

import os

folder=os.cwd()

number=0
string=""

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder):
    for file in files:
        pathname=os.path.join(root,file)
##        print (pathname)
##        print (os.path.getsize(pathname)/1024/1024)
        if number < os.path.getsize(pathname):
            number = os.path.getsize(pathname)
            string=pathname


##        print ()


print (string)
print ()
print (number)
print ("Number in bytes")
