humanreadable

Summary

humanreadable is a Python library to convert human-readable values to other units.

Supported Unites

• time (days, hours, minutes, seconds, etc.)
• bits per second

Usage

Convert a human-readable value to another unit

Sample Code

import humanreadable as hr

print("\n[Examples: humanreadable.Time]")
value = "120 sec"
print(f"'{value}' to msecs -> {hr.Time(value).milliseconds}")
print(f"'{value}' to minutes -> {hr.Time(value).minutes}")

value = "12 min 40 sec"
print(f"'{value}' to seconds -> {hr.Time(value).seconds}")

print("\n[Examples: humanreadable.BitsPerSecond]")
value = "1 Gbps"
print(f"'{value}' to Mbps -> {hr.BitsPerSecond(value).mega_bps}")
print(f"'{value}' to Kbps -> {hr.BitsPerSecond(value).kilo_bps}")
print(f"'{value}' to Kibps -> {hr.BitsPerSecond(value).kibi_bps}")

Output

[Examples: humanreadable.Time]
'120 sec' to msecs -> 120000.0
'120 sec' to minutes -> 2.0
'12 minutes 40 seconds' to seconds -> 760.0

[Examples: humanreadable.BitsPerSecond]
'1 Gbps' to Mbps -> 1000.0
'1 Gbps' to Kbps -> 1000000.0
'1 Gbps' to Kibps -> 976562.5

Convert a value to a human readable string

Sample Code

import humanreadable as hr

t = hr.Time("400", default_unit=hr.Time.Unit.SECOND)
print(t.to_humanreadable())
print(t.to_humanreadable(style="short"))

Output

6 minutes 40 seconds
6m 40s

Set default unit

Unit for an instance is determined by input value. If a valid unit is not found, default_unit will be used for the instance (defaults to None).

Sample Code

import humanreadable as hr

print(hr.Time("1", default_unit=hr.Time.Unit.SECOND))

Output

1.0 seconds
