sizelib 0.1.1

A simple, pythonic library for working with and humanizing file sizes.

sizelib

sizelib is a lightweight, type-safe Python Library for working with and humanizing file sizes. It offers clean, type-preserving size helpers (supporting both `int` and `float`) and loop-based human readable string conversions.

Size Helper Functions

from sizelib import size

# Define constraints using binary (base 2 / 1024) or decimal (base 10 / 1000) helper methods
MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE = size.mib(10)   # 10 MiB (10485760 bytes)
CACHE_LIMIT = size.gib(2)        # 2 GiB (2147483648 bytes)
USER_QUOTA = size.gb(50)         # 50 GB (50000000000 bytes)

print(MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE)           # Output: 10485760
print(type(MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE))     # Output: <class 'int'>

Humanize Byte Sizes

from sizelib import humanize

# Default binary formatting (base 2 / 1024)
print(humanize(MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE))  # Output: 10 MiB
print(humanize(CACHE_LIMIT))      # Output: 2 GiB

# Decimal values are formatted up to 2 decimal places
TOTAL = CACHE_LIMIT + size.mib(500)
print(humanize(TOTAL))            # Output: 2.49 GiB

# Decimal formatting (base 10 / 1000)
print(humanize(USER_QUOTA, base=10))  # Output: 50 GB
