Hi all,
Essentially all I want to know the size of a directory, and the size
of a zipped tarball so that I can compute/report the compression ratio.
The code I have seems hideous, but it seems to work. Surely there is an
easier,more elegant way to do this?
dir_size = os.popen('du -sk somename')
data = dir_size.readlines()
dir_size = int(data[0].split()[0])
print 'dir size: ', dir_size
tar_size = os.popen('ls -s somename.tar.gz')
data = tar_size.readlines()
tar_size = int(data[0].split()[0])
print 'tar size: ', tar_size
Thanks
Esmail
