For those of you who prefer using a GUI (and are using a windows computer): A similar program to Ohmu called "Spacesniffer" displays the space folders and files use, as well as free space in a treemap. It has helped me a lot to quickly see how big some folders are. http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/
Doesn't work with python3 (which is the only python I use on my machine) Why are people still building in 2.x? :#

While the Python Wall of Shame/Superpowers is the greenest it's ever been, the red panels are disproportionately used, even though you could argue many are dead, abandoned modules, they still end up presenting upgrade pain that many would rather avoid.

Or, for Linux - Filelight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filelight
Started out as kDirStat for KDE in Linux.
I use ncdu and Ranger file manager 95%+ of the time.

Mostly because that's what ships with most distros that are in production use currently.
Can we ever get Windows to Included it :(

Right now, it's mainly enthusiasts who use it. Industry still uses Python 2, as do most distros that ship. AWS Lambda has just added Python, picking 2 over 3.

Would be nice if it had a refresh timer or keypress - having to ctrl-c out and back again when you've removed some content is a bit faffy. Other than that, it's pretty useful.
I'm a huge fan of ncdu. The treemap looks cool, but I don't really see the benefit over ncdu. :) (which can be installed via brew install ncdu on a mac.)

You make it sound like you can't be an enthusiast while working in the industry. That's not true at all, but I don't want to argue about that.
But anyway, this project - ohmu - looks very much like something made by an enthusiast. So the question remains: why would people use Python 2 in their hobby side-projects?
Personally, I only switched very recently, with Python 3.5. I read release notes for each previous version and the improvements didn't convince me it's worth the effort to re-learn the language. The individual improvements and additions to the language didn't feel very important, but they do add up and with 3.5 the aggregate of all the new features finally made me switch.
Python 3 is a better language than Python 2, it just wasn't as much better as I wanted it to be. I suspect other programmers who still use (or used until not long ago) Python 2 think along the same lines. It's just that everyone has different view on how much Python 3 needs to improve on Python 2 to justify the switch.
