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/)

编辑:根据user2233949的建议，将null_decorator移到上面

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))

这将遍历所有子目录;文件大小总和:

import os

def get_size(start_path = '.'):
    total_size = 0
    for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(start_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)

    return total_size

print(get_size(), 'bytes')

和一个在线的乐趣使用操作系统。listdir(不包括子目录):

import os
sum(os.path.getsize(f) for f in os.listdir('.') if os.path.isfile(f))

参考:

os.path.getsize -以字节为单位给出大小 os.walk os.path.islink

更新 使用os.path。Getsize，这比使用os.stat()更清楚。st_size方法。

感谢ghostdog74指出这一点!

操作系统。stat - st_size以字节为单位给出大小。也可用于获取文件大小等文件相关信息。

import os

nbytes = sum(d.stat().st_size for d in os.scandir('.') if d.is_file())

更新2018

如果您使用的是Python 3.4或更早版本，那么您可以考虑使用第三方scandir包提供的更有效的walk方法。在Python 3.5及以后版本中，此包已合并到标准库和操作系统中。行走得到了相应的性能提升。

更新2019

最近我越来越多地使用pathlib，这里有一个pathlib解决方案:

from pathlib import Path

root_directory = Path('.')
sum(f.stat().st_size for f in root_directory.glob('**/*') if f.is_file())

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))

蒙纳特的答案是很好的，但它失败的符号链接，所以你还必须检查这个路径是否真的存在

if os.path.exists(fp):
    total_size += os.stat(fp).st_size

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
