It supports four formatting systems: the traditional binary system (1024-based multipliers, e.g., '1K' for 1024 bytes), an alternative format with explicit unit labels ('1 KB'), a verbose format spelling out unit names ('1 kilobyte'), and the SI system using 1000-based multipliers. The package has no external dependencies and is purely a formatting function.\n\nThe package was released once in 2009 and has received no updates since. It is no longer maintained, meaning it will not be updated for Python compatibility issues, security concerns, or feature requests. For simple byte-to-string conversion, it works as advertised, but its age and abandonment status mean you should evaluate whether a more actively maintained alternative better suits your project's long-term needs.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (no updates since 2009) and offers only a trivial formatting function that is easy to reimplement or find in actively maintained alternatives. The unclear license and lack of Python version specification add friction. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code already using it and cannot refactor."},"id":"hurry-filesize","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hurry-filesize","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hurry-filesize.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hurry-filesize/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2009-03-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"hurry.filesize","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A simple Python library for human readable file sizes (or anything sized in bytes)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":271435,"position":8221,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9"}
