I know of no built-in way, but you could probably code this in a few lines using print "%.1f" and so on. (Some of us, by the way, are in the camp that believes a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, not 1000, so 103803 bytes for us is about 101.4 kilobytes). abcd wrote: > is there a built-in way of printing

Format file size for printing

2006-02-19 Thread abcd
is there a built-in way of printing the size of a file nicely? So if the file size is 103803 bytes it prints out like: 103.8K or 0.1MB something liek that? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
