hurry.filesize
==============
hurry.filesize a simple Python library that can take a number of bytes and
returns a human-readable string with the size in it, in kilobytes (K),
megabytes (M), etc.
The default system it uses is "traditional", where multipliers of 1024
increase the unit size::
>>> from hurry.filesize import size
>>> size(1024)
'1K'
An alternative, slightly more verbose system::
>>> from hurry.filesize import alternative
>>> size(1, system=alternative)
'1 byte'
>>> size(10, system=alternative)
'10 bytes'
>>> size(1024, system=alternative)
'1 KB'
A verbose system::
>>> from hurry.filesize import verbose
>>> size(10, system=verbose)
'10 bytes'
>>> size(1024, system=verbose)
'1 kilobyte'
>>> size(2000, system=verbose)
'1 kilobyte'
>>> size(3000, system=verbose)
'2 kilobytes'
>>> size(1024 * 1024, system=verbose)
'1 megabyte'
>>> size(1024 * 1024 * 3, system=verbose)
'3 megabytes'
You can also use the SI system, where multipliers of 1000 increase the unit
size::
>>> from hurry.filesize import si
>>> size(1000, system=si)
'1K'
