humanize
--------

<!-- [![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/jmoiron/humanize.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/jmoiron/humanize) -->

This modest package contains various common humanization utilities, like turning
a number into a fuzzy human readable duration ('3 minutes ago') or into a human
readable size or throughput. It works with python 2.7 and 3.3 and is localized
to:

- `de_DE`
- `fa_IR`
- `fi_FI`
- `fr_FR`
- `id_ID`
- `ja_JP`
- `ko_KR`
- `nl_NL`
- `pt_BR`
- `ru_RU`
- `sk_SK`
- `tr_TR`
- `vi_VI`
- `zh_CN`

usage
-----

#### Integer humanization

```py
>>> import humanize
>>> humanize.intcomma(12345)
'12,345'
>>> humanize.intword(123455913)
'123.5 million'
>>> humanize.intword(12345591313)
'12.3 billion'
>>> humanize.apnumber(4)
'four'
>>> humanize.apnumber(41)
'41'
```

#### Date & time humanization

```py
>>> import datetime
>>> humanize.naturalday(datetime.datetime.now())
'today'
>>> humanize.naturaldelta(datetime.timedelta(seconds=1001))
'16 minutes'
>>> humanize.naturalday(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1))
'yesterday'
>>> humanize.naturalday(datetime.date(2007, 6, 5))
'Jun 05'
>>> humanize.naturaldate(datetime.date(2007, 6, 5))
'Jun 05 2007'
>>> humanize.naturaltime(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(seconds=1))
'a second ago'
>>> humanize.naturaltime(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(seconds=3600))
'an hour ago'
```

#### Filesize humanization

```py
>>> humanize.naturalsize(1000000)
'1.0 MB'
>>> humanize.naturalsize(1000000, binary=True)
'976.6 KiB'
>>> humanize.naturalsize(1000000, gnu=True)
'976.6K'
```

#### Human readable floating point numbers

```py
>>> humanize.fractional(1/3)
'1/3'
>>> humanize.fractional(1.5)
'1 1/2'
>>> humanize.fractional(0.3)
'3/10'
>>> humanize.fractional(0.333)
'1/3'
>>> humanize.fractional(1)
'1'
```

Localization
------------

#### How to change locale in runtime

```py
>>> print(humanize.naturaltime(datetime.timedelta(seconds=3)))
3 seconds ago
>>> _t = humanize.i18n.activate('ru_RU')
>>> print(humanize.naturaltime(datetime.timedelta(seconds=3)))
3 секунды назад
>>> humanize.i18n.deactivate()
>>> print(humanize.naturaltime(datetime.timedelta(seconds=3)))
3 seconds ago
```

You can pass additional parameter *path* to `activate` to specify a path to
search locales in.

```py
>>> humanize.i18n.activate('pt_BR')
IOError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'humanize'
>>> humanize.i18n.activate('pt_BR', path='path/to/my/portuguese/translation/')
<gettext.GNUTranslations instance ...>
```

How to add new phrases to existing locale files ::

```shell
$ xgettext -o humanize.pot -k'_' -k'N_' -k'P_:1c,2' -l python humanize/*.py # extract new phrases
$ msgmerge -U humanize/locale/ru_RU/LC_MESSAGES/humanize.po humanize.pot # add them to locale files
$ msgfmt --check -o humanize/locale/ru_RU/LC_MESSAGES/humanize{.mo,.po} # compile to binary .mo
```
How to add new locale:

```shell
$ msginit -i humanize.pot -o humanize/locale/<locale name>/LC_MESSAGES/humanize.po --locale <locale name>
```

Where `<locale name>` is locale abbreviation, eg 'en_GB', 'pt_BR' or just 'ru', 'fr' etc.
