Number

Humanizing functions for numbers.

apnumber(value)

Converts an integer to Associated Press style.

Examples:

>>> apnumber(0)
'zero'
>>> apnumber(5)
'five'
>>> apnumber(10)
'10'
>>> apnumber("7")
'seven'
>>> apnumber("foo")
'foo'
>>> apnumber(None)
'None'

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
value	(int, float, str)	Integer to convert.	required

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
str	str	For numbers 0-9, the number spelled out. Otherwise, the number. This always returns a string unless the value was not int-able, then str(value) is returned.

clamp(value, format='{:}', floor=None, ceil=None, floor_token='<', ceil_token='>')

Returns number with the specified format, clamped between floor and ceil.

If the number is larger than ceil or smaller than floor, then the respective limit will be returned, formatted and prepended with a token specifying as such.

Examples:

>>> clamp(123.456)
'123.456'
>>> clamp(0.0001, floor=0.01)
'<0.01'
>>> clamp(0.99, format="{:.0%}", ceil=0.99)
'99%'
>>> clamp(0.999, format="{:.0%}", ceil=0.99)
'>99%'
>>> clamp(1, format=intword, floor=1e6, floor_token="under ")
'under 1.0 million'
>>> clamp(None) is None
True

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
value	(int, float)	Input number.	required
format	str OR callable	Can either be a formatting string, or a callable function that receives value and returns a string.	'{:}'
floor	(int, float)	Smallest value before clamping.	None
ceil	(int, float)	Largest value before clamping.	None
floor_token	str	If value is smaller than floor, token will be prepended to output.	'<'
ceil_token	str	If value is larger than ceil, token will be prepended to output.	'>'

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
str	str	Formatted number. The output is clamped between the indicated floor and ceil. If the number is larger than ceil or smaller than floor, the output will be prepended with a token indicating as such.

fractional(value)

Convert to fractional number.

There will be some cases where one might not want to show ugly decimal places for floats and decimals.

This function returns a human-readable fractional number in form of fractions and mixed fractions.

Pass in a string, or a number or a float, and this function returns:

• a string representation of a fraction
• or a whole number
• or a mixed fraction
• or the str output of the value, if it could not be converted

Examples:

>>> fractional(0.3)
'3/10'
>>> fractional(1.3)
'1 3/10'
>>> fractional(float(1/3))
'1/3'
>>> fractional(1)
'1'
>>> fractional("ten")
'ten'
>>> fractional(None)
'None'

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
value	(int, float, str)	Integer to convert.	required

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
str	str	Fractional number as a string.

intcomma(value, ndigits=None)

Converts an integer to a string containing commas every three digits.

For example, 3000 becomes "3,000" and 45000 becomes "45,000". To maintain some compatibility with Django's intcomma, this function also accepts floats.

Examples:

>>> intcomma(100)
'100'

'1,000'
>>> intcomma(1_000_000)
'1,000,000'

'1,234,567.25'
>>> intcomma(1234.5454545, 2)
'1,234.55'
>>> intcomma(14308.40, 1)
'14,308.4'
>>> intcomma("14308.40", 1)
'14,308.4'
>>> intcomma(None)
'None'

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
value	(int, float, str)	Integer or float to convert.	required
ndigits	(int, None)	Digits of precision for rounding after the decimal point.	None

Returns:

Name	Type	Description

intword(value, format='%.1f')

Converts a large integer to a friendly text representation.

Works best for numbers over 1 million. For example, 1_000_000 becomes "1.0 million", 1200000 becomes "1.2 million" and "1_200_000_000" becomes "1.2 billion". Supports up to decillion (33 digits) and googol (100 digits).

Examples:

>>> intword("100")
'100'
>>> intword("12400")
'12.4 thousand'
>>> intword("1000000")
'1.0 million'

metric(value, unit='', precision=3)

Return a value with a metric SI unit-prefix appended.

Examples:

'1.50 kV'
>>> metric(2e8, "W")
'200 MW'
>>> metric(220e-6, "F")
'220 μF'

'10.00 f'

The unit prefix is always chosen so that non-significant zero digits are required. i.e. 123,000 will become 123k instead of 0.123M and 1,230,000 will become 1.23M instead of 1230K. For numbers that are either too huge or too tiny to represent without resorting to either leading or trailing zeroes, it falls back to scientific().
