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.

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. 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. https://…

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 s…

The project may be older than you realize. I've got a disk usage project that I started around 2005, but it did not get onto indexes until a couple of years ago.

Agree that Python 3.5 is a turning point. Async/await in the core language is HUGE, and really makes Python a great language for the future.

Tornado + py3.5 is a very easy and monster-performing platform.
