      python-bitmath – Now available in Fedora!

      Written by Tim Bielawa

      Last week I wrote about bitmath, a Python module I made for working with (prefix) units commonly used to represent file sizes, e.g., kB, GiB, Byte, TB.  I can now happily say that python-bitmath has passed the review process and has been officially accepted into Fedora!

      Need more proof?

      bitmath is a Python library for dealing with file size units (GiB's, kB's, etc) in a sane way. bitmath supports arithmetic, rich comparison, conversion, automatic best human-readable representation, and many other utility functions. Read some examples on the docs site or check out the source on GitHub.
