Calculating a directory's size using Python?

问题:

Before I re-invent this particular wheel, has anybody got a nice routine for calculating the size of a directory using Python? It would be very nice if the routine would format the size nicely in Mb/Gb etc.

回答1:

This grabs subdirectories:

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)
            total_size += os.path.getsize(fp)
    return total_size

print get_size()

And a oneliner for fun using os.listdir (Does not include sub-directories):

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

Reference:

os.path.getsize - Gives the size in bytes

os.walk

Updated To use os.path.getsize, this is clearer than using the os.stat().st_size method.

Thanks to ghostdog74 for pointing this out!

os.stat - st_size Gives the size in bytes. Can also be used to get file size and other file related information.

Update 2018

If you use Python 3.4 or previous then you may consider using the more efficient walk method provided by the third-party scandir package. In Python 3.5 and later, this package has been incorporated into the standard library and os.walk has received the corresponding increase in performance.

回答2:

Some of the approaches suggested so far implement a recursion, others employ a shell or will not produce neatly formatted results. When your code is one-off for Linux platforms, you can get formatting as usual, recursion included, as a one-liner. Except for the print in the last line, it will work for current versions of python2 and 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('.'))

is simple, efficient and will work for files and multilevel directories:

$ chmod 750 du.py
$ ./du.py
2,9M

A bit late after 5 years, but because this is still in the hitlists of search engines, it might be of help...

回答3:

Here is a recursive function (it recursively sums up the size of all subfolders and their respective files) which returns exactly the same bytes as when running "du -sb ." in linux (where the "." means "the current folder"):

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("."))

            total += folder_size(entry.path)
    return total

回答5:

monknut answer is good but it fails on broken symlink, so you also have to check if this path really exists

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

回答6:

The accepted answer doesn't take into account hard or soft links, and would count those files twice. You'd want to keep track of which inodes you've seen, and not add the size for those files.

import os
def get_size(start_path='.'):
    total_size = 0
    seen = {}
    for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(start_path):
        for f in filenames:
            fp = os.path.join(dirpath, f)
            try:
                stat = os.stat(fp)
            except OSError:
                continue

            try:
                seen[stat.st_ino]
            except KeyError:
                seen[stat.st_ino] = True
            else:
                continue

            total_size += stat.st_size

    return total_size

print get_size()

回答7:

Chris' answer is good but could be made more idiomatic by using a set to check for seen directories, which also avoids using an exception for control flow:

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

回答8:

a recursive one-liner:

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))])

回答9:

For the second part of the question

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])

回答10:

You can do something like this :

import commands   
size = commands.getoutput('du -sh /path/').split()[0]

in this case I have not tested the result before returning it, if you want you can check it with commands.getstatusoutput.

回答11:

A little late to the party but in one line provided that you have glob2 and humanize installed. Note that in Python 3, the default iglob has a recursive mode. How to modify the code for Python 3 is left as a trivial exercise for the reader.

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

回答12:

One-liner you say... Here is a one liner:

sum([sum(map(lambda fname: os.path.getsize(os.path.join(directory, fname)), files)) for directory, folders, files in os.walk(path)])

Although I would probably split it out and it performs no checks.

回答13:

The following script prints directory size of all sub-directories for the specified directory. It also tries to benefit (if possible) from caching the calls of a recursive functions. If an argument is omitted, the script will work in the current directory. The output is sorted by the directory size from biggest to smallest ones. So you can adapt it for your needs.

Admittedly, this is kind of hackish and only works on Unix/Linux.

It matches du -sb . because in effect this is a Python bash wrapper that runs the du -sb . command.

    p = subprocess.Popen(cmd,

When size of the sub-directories is computed, it should update its parent's folder size and this will go on till it reaches the root parent.

The following function computes the size of the folder and all its sub-folders.

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
