Installation

You can install Human Readable via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install human-readable

Basic usage

Import the lib with:

import human_readable

Date and time humanization examples:

human_readable.time_of_day(17)
"afternoon"

import datetime as dt
human_readable.timing(dt.time(6, 59, 0))
"one minute to seven hours"

human_readable.timing(dt.time(21, 0, 40), formal=False)
"nine in the evening"

human_readable.time_delta(dt.timedelta(days=65))
"2 months"

human_readable.date_time(dt.datetime.now() - dt.timedelta(minutes=2))
"2 minutes ago"

human_readable.day(dt.date.today() - dt.timedelta(days=1))
"yesterday"

human_readable.date(dt.date(2019, 7, 2))
"Jul 02 2019"

human_readable.year(dt.date.today() + dt.timedelta(days=365))
"next year"

Precise time delta examples:

import datetime as dt
delta = dt.timedelta(seconds=3633, days=2, microseconds=123000)
human_readable.precise_delta(delta)
"2 days, 1 hour and 33.12 seconds"

human_readable.precise_delta(delta, minimum_unit="microseconds")
"2 days, 1 hour, 33 seconds and 123 milliseconds"

human_readable.precise_delta(delta, suppress=["days"], format="0.4f")
"49 hours and 33.1230 seconds"

File size humanization examples:

human_readable.file_size(1000000)
"1.0 MB"

human_readable.file_size(1000000, binary=True)
"976.6 KiB"

human_readable.file_size(1000000, gnu=True)
"976.6K"

Lists humanization examples:

human_readable.listing(["Alpha", "Bravo"], ",")
"Alpha, Bravo"

human_readable.listing(["Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie"], ";", "or")
"Alpha; Bravo or Charlie"

Numbers humanization examples:

human_readable.int_comma(12345)
"12,345"

human_readable.int_word(123455913)
"123.5 million"

human_readable.int_word(12345591313)
"12.3 billion"

human_readable.ap_number(4)
"four"

human_readable.ap_number(41)
"41"

Floating point number humanization examples:

human_readable.fractional(1.5)
"1 1/2"

human_readable.fractional(0.3)
"3/10"

Scientific notation examples:

human_readable.scientific_notation(1000)
"1.00 x 10³"

human_readable.scientific_notation(5781651000, precision=4)
"5.7817 x 10⁹"

Complete instructions can be found at human-readable.readthedocs.io.

Localization

How to change locale at runtime:

import datetime as dt
human_readable.date_time(dt.timedelta(seconds=3))
'3 seconds ago'

_t = human_readable.i18n.activate("ru_RU")
human_readable.date_time(dt.timedelta(seconds=3))
'3 секунды назад'

human_readable.i18n.deactivate()
human_readable.date_time(dt.timedelta(seconds=3))
'3 seconds ago'

You can pass additional parameter path to activate to specify a path to search locales in.

human_readable.i18n.activate("xx_XX")
...
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'human_readable'
human_readable.i18n.activate("pt_BR", path="path/to/my/portuguese/translation/")
<gettext.GNUTranslations instance ...>

You can see how to add a new locale on the Contributor Guide.

A special locale, en_ABBR, renderes abbreviated versions of output:

human_readable.date_time(datetime.timedelta(seconds=3))
3 seconds ago

human_readable.int_word(12345591313)
12.3 billion

human_readable.date_time(datetime.timedelta(seconds=86400*476))
1 year, 3 months ago

human_readable.i18n.activate('en_ABBR')
human_readable.date_time(datetime.timedelta(seconds=3))
3s

human_readable.int_word(12345591313)
12.3 B

human_readable.date_time(datetime.timedelta(seconds=86400*476))
1y 3M
