A simple Python library for human readable file sizes (or anything sized in bytes).
Project description
hurry.filesize
hurry.filesize a simple Python library that can take a number of bytes and returns a human-readable string with the size in it, in kilobytes (K), megabytes (M), etc.
The default system it uses is “traditional”, where multipliers of 1024 increase the unit size:
>>> from hurry.filesize import size >>> size(1024) '1K'
An alternative, slightly more verbose system:
>>> from hurry.filesize import alternative >>> size(1, system=alternative) '1 byte' >>> size(10, system=alternative) '10 bytes' >>> size(1024, system=alternative) '1 KB'
A verbose system:
>>> from hurry.filesize import verbose >>> size(10, system=verbose) '10 bytes' >>> size(1024, system=verbose) '1 kilobyte' >>> size(2000, system=verbose) '1 kilobyte' >>> size(3000, system=verbose) '2 kilobytes' >>> size(1024 * 1024, system=verbose) '1 megabyte' >>> size(1024 * 1024 * 3, system=verbose) '3 megabytes'
You can also use the SI system, where multipliers of 1000 increase the unit size:
>>> from hurry.filesize import si >>> size(1000, system=si) '1K'
