Du默认情况下不遵循符号链接。这里没有答案，使用follow_symlinks=False。

下面是一个遵循du默认行为的实现:

def du(path) -> int:
    total = 0
    for entry in os.scandir(path):
        if entry.is_file(follow_symlinks=False):
            total += entry.stat().st_size
        elif entry.is_dir(follow_symlinks=False):
            total += du(entry.path)
    return total

测试:

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_du(self):
        root = '/tmp/du_test'
        subprocess.run(['rm', '-rf', root])
        test_utils.mkdir(root)
        test_utils.create_file(root, 'A', '1M')
        test_utils.create_file(root, 'B', '1M')
        sub = '/'.join([root, 'sub'])
        test_utils.mkdir(sub)
        test_utils.create_file(sub, 'C', '1M')
        test_utils.create_file(sub, 'D', '1M')
        subprocess.run(['ln', '-s', '/tmp', '/'.join([root, 'link']), ])
        self.assertEqual(4 << 20, util.du(root))

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")

使用pathlib，我想出了这个一行程序来获取文件夹的大小:

sum(file.stat().st_size for file in Path(folder).rglob('*'))

这是我为一个漂亮的格式化输出:

from pathlib import Path


def get_folder_size(folder):
    return ByteSize(sum(file.stat().st_size for file in Path(folder).rglob('*')))


class ByteSize(int):

    _KB = 1024
    _suffixes = 'B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'PB'

    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        return super().__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs)

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.bytes = self.B = int(self)
        self.kilobytes = self.KB = self / self._KB**1
        self.megabytes = self.MB = self / self._KB**2
        self.gigabytes = self.GB = self / self._KB**3
        self.petabytes = self.PB = self / self._KB**4
        *suffixes, last = self._suffixes
        suffix = next((
            suffix
            for suffix in suffixes
            if 1 < getattr(self, suffix) < self._KB
        ), last)
        self.readable = suffix, getattr(self, suffix)

        super().__init__()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.__format__('.2f')

    def __repr__(self):
        return '{}({})'.format(self.__class__.__name__, super().__repr__())

    def __format__(self, format_spec):
        suffix, val = self.readable
        return '{val:{fmt}} {suf}'.format(val=val, fmt=format_spec, suf=suffix)

    def __sub__(self, other):
        return self.__class__(super().__sub__(other))

    def __add__(self, other):
        return self.__class__(super().__add__(other))
    
    def __mul__(self, other):
        return self.__class__(super().__mul__(other))

    def __rsub__(self, other):
        return self.__class__(super().__sub__(other))

    def __radd__(self, other):
        return self.__class__(super().__add__(other))
    
    def __rmul__(self, other):
        return self.__class__(super().__rmul__(other))   

用法:

>>> size = get_folder_size("c:/users/tdavis/downloads")
>>> print(size)
5.81 GB
>>> size.GB
5.810891855508089
>>> size.gigabytes
5.810891855508089
>>> size.PB
0.005674699077644618
>>> size.MB
5950.353260040283
>>> size
ByteSize(6239397620)

我还遇到了这个问题，它有一些更紧凑、可能更高效的打印文件大小的策略。

这是一个递归地完成它的一行代码(从Python 3.5开始提供递归选项):

import os
import glob
print(sum(os.path.getsize(f) for f in glob.glob('**', recursive=True) if os.path.isfile(f))/(1024*1024))

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
