This is primarily for my recollection
To expand ~ in a path name:
os.path.expanduser('~')
To get the size of a directory:
import os
def getsize(start<em>path = '.'):
totalsize = 0
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(start</em>path):
for f in filenames:
fp = os.path.join(dirpath, f)
totalsize += os.path.getsize(fp)
return totalsize
