binary provides a bug-free and easy way to convert between and within
binary (IEC) and decimal (SI) units.
$ pip install binaryLet's import what we need:
>>> from binary import BinaryUnits, DecimalUnits, convert_unitsBasic conversion:
>>> convert_units(1536, BinaryUnits.KB, BinaryUnits.MB)
(1.5, 'MiB')How much actual storage your new hard drive has:
>>> convert_units(4, DecimalUnits.TB, BinaryUnits.TB)
(3.637978807091713, 'TiB')Human readable:
>>> amount, unit = convert_units(kubernetes_ingest_bytes_per_second)
>>> 'Incoming traffic: {:.2f} {}/s'.format(amount, unit)
'Incoming traffic: 24.77 GiB/s'Just a single function!
convert_units(n, unit=BYTE, to=None, si=False, exact=False)
Converts between and within binary and decimal units. If no unit
is specified, n is assumed to already be in bytes. If no to is
specified, n will be converted to the highest unit possible. If
no unit nor to is specified, the output will be binary units
unless si is True. If exact is True. the calculations
will use decimal.Decimal.
- Parameters
Although the string representations for binary units end in iB,
the attributes do not for ease of use.

binary is distributed under the terms of both
at your option.
Important changes are emphasized.
- Perform floor division when explicitly converting to bytes
- Support negative values
- Fix syntax warning on newer versions of Python
- Initial release
