Humanize your outputs for other humans with Python
Published on Oct. 07, 2022
First, if you have long numbers, you should maybe like add underscores or something. Underscores are actually like totally ignored by Python but they make it easier for humans to read.
one_milli = 1_000_000
one_billi = 1_000_000_000
You should most definitely use humanize. It's like totally amazing.
import humanize
humanize.intcomma(1_000_000)
# '1,000,000'
humanize.intword(1_500_000_000)
# '1.5 billion'
humanize.scientific(4_600_000_000_000)
# '4.60 x 10¹²'
humanize.ordinal(22)
# '22nd'
humanize.naturalsize(8_192)
# '8.2 kB'
humanize.naturalsize(8_192, binary=True)
# '8.0 KiB'
