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。

递归的一行代码:

def getFolderSize(p):
   from functools import partial
   prepend = partial(os.path.join, p)
   return sum([(os.path.getsize(f) if os.path.isfile(f) else getFolderSize(f)) for f in map(prepend, os.listdir(p))])

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

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

import os

def get_size(path):
    total_size = 0
    for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(path):
        for f in filenames:
            if os.path.exists(fp):
                fp = os.path.join(dirpath, f)
                total_size += os.path.getsize(fp)

    return total_size   # in megabytes

谢谢monkut & troex!

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])
