Python format size application (converting B to KB, MB, GB, TB)

Question

I am trying to write an application to convert bytes to kb to mb to gb to tb. Here\'s what I have so far:

def size_format(b):
    if b < 1000:
              r         


        

Answer 1

Rather than modifying your code, you can change the behaviour of division:

from __future__ import division

This provides "true" division over the "classic" style that Python 2.x uses. See PEP 238 - Changing the Division Operator for more details.

This is now the default behaviour in Python 3.x
