logscale
This Python package provides a single function, order_of_magnitude(), which
computes and returns the order of magnitude of a given number in a standardized
string format.
The order of magnitude gives a compact representation of a number as a product of a coefficient and a power of 10, where the coefficient is constrained to lie within the interval [1/√10, √10). For more information, see the wikipedia article on orders of magnitude.
Installation
If you are using uv, you can install the package from PyPI with:
uv pip install logscale
Alternatively, with regular pip:
pip install logscale
Examples
from logscale import order_of_magnitude
order_of_magnitude(129) # "1.3e2"
order_of_magnitude(0.0001) # "1.0e-4"
order_of_magnitude(456) # "0.46e3"
order_of_magnitude(70.2) # "0.70e2"
order_of_magnitude(0) # "0.0e0"
