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

下面是一个递归函数(它递归地总结所有子文件夹及其各自文件的大小)，返回的字节与在linux中运行“du -sb .”时完全相同(其中“。”表示“当前文件夹”):

import os

def getFolderSize(folder):
    total_size = os.path.getsize(folder)
    for item in os.listdir(folder):
        itempath = os.path.join(folder, item)
        if os.path.isfile(itempath):
            total_size += os.path.getsize(itempath)
        elif os.path.isdir(itempath):
            total_size += getFolderSize(itempath)
    return total_size

print "Size: " + str(getFolderSize("."))

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])

当计算子目录的大小时，它应该更新其父目录的文件夹大小，这将一直进行下去，直到它到达根父目录。

下面的函数计算文件夹及其所有子文件夹的大小。

import os

def folder_size(path):
    parent = {}  # path to parent path mapper
    folder_size = {}  # storing the size of directories
    folder = os.path.realpath(path)

    for root, _, filenames in os.walk(folder):
        if root == folder:
            parent[root] = -1  # the root folder will not have any parent
            folder_size[root] = 0.0  # intializing the size to 0

        elif root not in parent:
            immediate_parent_path = os.path.dirname(root)  # extract the immediate parent of the subdirectory
            parent[root] = immediate_parent_path  # store the parent of the subdirectory
            folder_size[root] = 0.0  # initialize the size to 0

        total_size = 0
        for filename in filenames:
            filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)
            total_size += os.stat(filepath).st_size  # computing the size of the files under the directory
        folder_size[root] = total_size  # store the updated size

        temp_path = root  # for subdirectories, we need to update the size of the parent till the root parent
        while parent[temp_path] != -1:
            folder_size[parent[temp_path]] += total_size
            temp_path = parent[temp_path]

    return folder_size[folder]/1000000.0

import os
def get_size(path = os.getcwd()):
    print("Calculating Size: ",path)
    total_size = 0
    #if path is directory--
    if os.path.isdir(path):
      print("Path type : Directory/Folder")
      for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(path):
          for f in filenames:
              fp = os.path.join(dirpath, f)
              # skip if it is symbolic link
              if not os.path.islink(fp):
                  total_size += os.path.getsize(fp)
    #if path is a file---
    elif os.path.isfile(path):
      print("Path type : File")
      total_size=os.path.getsize(path)
    else:
      print("Path Type : Special File (Socket, FIFO, Device File)" )
      total_size=0
    bytesize=total_size
    print(bytesize, 'bytes')
    print(bytesize/(1024), 'kilobytes')
    print(bytesize/(1024*1024), 'megabytes')
    print(bytesize/(1024*1024*1024), 'gegabytes')
    return total_size


x=get_size("/content/examples")

我相信这很有帮助!文件夹和文件!

这有点晚了，但只要安装了glob2和humanize，就行了。注意，在Python 3中，默认的iglob具有递归模式。如何修改Python 3的代码是留给读者的简单练习。

>>> import os
>>> from humanize import naturalsize
>>> from glob2 import iglob
>>> naturalsize(sum(os.path.getsize(x) for x in iglob('/var/**'))))
'546.2 MB'
