How is this computed?

round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-03. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

A Python library that converts numbers, dates, times, file sizes, and deltas into human-readable strings like '3 minutes ago' or '1.0 MB'. It supports localization into many languages. This original repo has moved development to python-humanize/humanize.

Use cases

  • turn timestamps into '3 minutes ago' strings
  • format file sizes as human-readable MB/KB
  • format large integers with commas or words like '1.2 million'
  • localize human-readable durations into other languages
  • convert timedelta objects into readable durations
  • display numbers as words for accessibility

When to choose

  • you need human-friendly formatting of numbers, dates, or file sizes in Python
  • you need localized humanization in many languages
  • you want a small, MIT-licensed utility with no heavy dependencies

When to avoid

  • you want active development - use the python-humanize/humanize fork instead
  • you need machine-parseable formatting rather than human-readable output
  • you are not working in Python
