Just pointing out that this exists and seems active.

Perhaps include some or all of it in core python? Crazier things have happened.

[issue31749] Request: Human readable byte amounts in the standard library

2017-10-11 Thread Jason Stelzer

Jason Stelzer  added the comment:

I often speak in generalizations and half thoughts. Feel free to cherry pick as 
much or a little as you want.

Including a core shim of whatever is agreed to be the minimalist functionality 
with a SEE ALSO note or clue as to where to start would:

* Resolve the basic out-of-the-box stuff.

* Eliminate a lot of boring DIY stuff for people who reach for an editor first 
and search second.

* Give new users much firmer footing.

* Give some everything and the kitchen sink projects wider exposure.
