I have a suggestion: Add a function shutil.get_dir_size that gets the size of a directory, including all the items inside it recursively. I currently need this functionality and it looks like I'll have to write my own function for it.
The comprehensive implementation should take into account hard links, mount points, variable block sizes, sparse files, transparent files and blocks compression, file tails packing, blocks deduplication, additional file streams, file versioning, and many many other FS specific features. If you implement a module providing this feature, publish it on PyPI and prove its usefulness for common Python user, it may be considered for inclusion in the Python standard library.
