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

good idea for me:

def convert_bytes(num):
    """
    this function will convert bytes to MB.... GB... etc
    """
    step_unit = 1000.0 #1024 bad the size

    for x in ['bytes', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB']:
        if num < step_unit:
            return "%3.1f %s" % (num, x)
        num /= step_unit
