I am pleased to announce a new release of byteformat.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/byteformat byteformat is a Python module for intelligently formatting numbers of bytes using common human-readable strings: >>> from byteformat import format >>> format(12000) '12 KB' >>> format(5100000, style='ABBREV') '5.1 Mbytes' >>> format(48500000000000, style='LONG') '48.5 terabytes' byteformat understands SI decimal units, IEC binary units, and mixed units: >>> format(12000, scheme='IEC') '11.7 KiB' >>> format(12000, scheme='MIXED') '11.7 KB' You can also specify which prefix to use: >>> format(48500000000000, style='LONG', prefix='M') '48500000 megabytes' byteformat can be used as a command-line tool: [steve@ando ~]$ python -m byteformat --prefix=K 1000 12300 145000 1 KB 12.3 KB 145 KB byteformat understands all the relevant SI and IEC unit prefixes, and is released under the MIT licence. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
