python如何计算字符串字节大小是多少_如何确定Python中utf-8编码字符串的字节长度？...

I am working with Amazon S3 uploads and am having trouble with key names being too long. S3 limits the length of the key by bytes, not characters.

From the docs:

The name for a key is a sequence of Unicode characters whose UTF-8 encoding is at most 1024 bytes long.

I also attempt to embed metadata in the file name, so I need to be able to calculate the current byte length of the string using Python to make sure the metadata does not make the key too long (in which case I would have to use a separate metadata file).

How can I determine the byte length of the utf-8 encoded string? Again, I am not interested in the character length... rather the actual byte length used to store the string.

解决方案def utf8len(s):

return len(s.encode('utf-8'))

Works fine in Python 2 and 3.
