Installation
binary is distributed on PyPI as a universal
wheel and is available on Linux/macOS and Windows and supports
Python 2.7/3.5+ and PyPy.
$ pip install binary

Examples
Let’s import what we need:
>>> from binary import BinaryUnits, DecimalUnits, convert_units
Basic 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'

Usage
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.

Binary units conform to IEC standards, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_80000-13
https://www.iso.org/standard/31898.html (paywalled)

Decimal units conform to SI standards, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

Parameters

n (int or float) - The number of units.
unit - The unit n represents. See types.
to - The unit to convert to. See types.
si (bool) - Assume SI units when no unit nor to is specified.
exact (bool) - Use decimal.Decimal for calculations.

Types
Although the string representations for binary units end in iB,
the attributes do not for ease of use.
