It handles both simple formatting (e.g., \"1.0 MB\" for file sizes, \"12,345\" for comma-separated integers) and more complex conversions (e.g., \"2 months\" from a timedelta, \"123.5 million\" from large numbers). The library includes precise time-delta formatting with configurable units and suppression, scientific notation display, and fractional number representation.\n\nThe package supports internationalization across 20+ locales, allowing you to activate different language translations at runtime. It also provides a special abbreviated English locale (en_ABBR) that renders compact output like \"3s\" instead of \"3 seconds ago\". With no external runtime dependencies, it installs cleanly and works on Python 3.9 and later. The codebase is actively maintained and marked production-stable.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a lightweight, dependency-free utility with active maintenance, production-stable status, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive MIT license. Install it if you need to display numbers, dates, times, or file sizes in human-friendly formats, especially if you need multi-locale support. The low friction and broad feature set make it a practical choice for user-facing output."},"id":"human-readable","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/human-readable","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/human-readable.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/human-readable/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"human-readable","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Human Readable"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":150180,"position":10974,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.3"}
