参考Sridhar Ratnakumar的回答，更新为:

def formatSize(sizeInBytes, decimalNum=1, isUnitWithI=False, sizeUnitSeperator=""):
  """format size to human readable string"""
  # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Specific_units_of_IEC_60027-2_A.2_and_ISO.2FIEC_80000
  # K=kilo, M=mega, G=giga, T=tera, P=peta, E=exa, Z=zetta, Y=yotta
  sizeUnitList = ['','K','M','G','T','P','E','Z']
  largestUnit = 'Y'

  if isUnitWithI:
    sizeUnitListWithI = []
    for curIdx, eachUnit in enumerate(sizeUnitList):
      unitWithI = eachUnit
      if curIdx >= 1:
        unitWithI += 'i'
      sizeUnitListWithI.append(unitWithI)

    # sizeUnitListWithI = ['','Ki','Mi','Gi','Ti','Pi','Ei','Zi']
    sizeUnitList = sizeUnitListWithI

    largestUnit += 'i'

  suffix = "B"
  decimalFormat = "." + str(decimalNum) + "f" # ".1f"
  finalFormat = "%" + decimalFormat + sizeUnitSeperator + "%s%s" # "%.1f%s%s"
  sizeNum = sizeInBytes
  for sizeUnit in sizeUnitList:
      if abs(sizeNum) < 1024.0:
        return finalFormat % (sizeNum, sizeUnit, suffix)
      sizeNum /= 1024.0
  return finalFormat % (sizeNum, largestUnit, suffix)

示例输出如下:

  kbSize = 3746
  kbStr = formatSize(kbSize)
  print("%s -> %s" % (kbSize, kbStr))

def testI():
  iSize = 87533
  iStr = formatSize(iSize, isUnitWithI=True)
  print("%s -> %s" % (iSize, iStr))

def testSeparator():
  seperatorSize = 98654
  seperatorStr = formatSize(seperatorSize, sizeUnitSeperator=" ")
  print("%s -> %s" % (seperatorSize, seperatorStr))

def testBytes():
  bytesSize = 352
  bytesStr = formatSize(bytesSize)
  print("%s -> %s" % (bytesSize, bytesStr))

def testMb():
  mbSize = 76383285
  mbStr = formatSize(mbSize, decimalNum=2)
  print("%s -> %s" % (mbSize, mbStr))

def testTb():
  tbSize = 763832854988542
  tbStr = formatSize(tbSize, decimalNum=2)
  print("%s -> %s" % (tbSize, tbStr))

def testPb():
  pbSize = 763832854988542665
  pbStr = formatSize(pbSize, decimalNum=4)
  print("%s -> %s" % (pbSize, pbStr))


def demoFormatSize():

  testTb()
  testPb()

  # 3746 -> 3.7KB

这里是一个在线lambda，没有任何导入来转换为人类可读的文件大小。以字节为单位传递值。

to_human = lambda v : str(v >> ((max(v.bit_length()-1, 0)//10)*10)) +["", "K", "M", "G", "T", "P", "E"][max(v.bit_length()-1, 0)//10]
>>> to_human(1024)
'1K'
>>> to_human(1024*1024*3)
'3M'

重复作为匆匆.filesize()替代方案提供的代码段，下面的代码段根据所使用的前缀给出不同的精度数字。它不像某些片段那样简洁，但我喜欢这样的结果。

def human_size(size_bytes):
    """
    format a size in bytes into a 'human' file size, e.g. bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB
    Note that bytes/KB will be reported in whole numbers but MB and above will have greater precision
    e.g. 1 byte, 43 bytes, 443 KB, 4.3 MB, 4.43 GB, etc
    """
    if size_bytes == 1:
        # because I really hate unnecessary plurals
        return "1 byte"

    suffixes_table = [('bytes',0),('KB',0),('MB',1),('GB',2),('TB',2), ('PB',2)]

    num = float(size_bytes)
    for suffix, precision in suffixes_table:
        if num < 1024.0:
            break
        num /= 1024.0

    if precision == 0:
        formatted_size = "%d" % num
    else:
        formatted_size = str(round(num, ndigits=precision))

    return "%s %s" % (formatted_size, suffix)

下面是一个使用while的选项:

def number_format(n):
   n2, n3 = n, 0
   while n2 >= 1e3:
      n2 /= 1e3
      n3 += 1
   return '%.3f' % n2 + ('', ' k', ' M', ' G')[n3]

s = number_format(9012345678)
print(s == '9.012 G')
