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

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'

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'

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))

不管怎样……树命令免费完成所有这些工作:

tree -h --du /path/to/dir  # files and dirs
tree -h -d --du /path/to/dir  # dirs only

我喜欢Python，但到目前为止，这个问题最简单的解决方案不需要新的代码。

下面的脚本打印指定目录的所有子目录的目录大小。它还试图(如果可能的话)从缓存递归函数的调用中获益。如果省略一个参数，脚本将在当前目录中工作。输出按目录大小从大到小排序。所以你可以根据自己的需要进行调整。

PS我已经使用配方578019以人性化的格式显示目录大小(http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578019/)
