The functions in the humanfriendly package can be used to make text interfaces more user friendly by parsing and formatting file sizes and timestamps in simple, human readable formats. It’s currently tested on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.4.
Getting started
It’s very simple to start using the humanfriendly package:
>>> import humanfriendly
>>> user_input = raw_input("Enter a readable file size: ")
Enter a readable file size: 16G
>>> num_bytes = humanfriendly.parse_size(user_input)
>>> print num_bytes
17179869184
>>> print "You entered:", humanfriendly.format_size(num_bytes)
You entered: 16 GB
