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

Fixed version of Bryan_Rch's answer:

def format_bytes(size):
    # 2**10 = 1024
    power = 2**10
    n = 0
    power_labels = {0 : '', 1: 'kilo', 2: 'mega', 3: 'giga', 4: 'tera'}
    while size > power:
        size /= power
        n += 1
    return size, power_labels[n]+'bytes'
