humanize is a Python library (current version 4.15.0) that provides a collection of utilities to make data more human-readable. It transforms raw numerical values, dates, times, and file sizes into intuitive and easily understandable formats, bridging the gap between machine-centric data and human comprehension. The project maintains an active release cadence, with frequent updates and a focus on expanding localization support.
pip install humanizeVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart demonstrates common `humanize` functionalities, including formatting numbers with commas or words, converting numbers to ordinals, presenting dates and times in natural language, and converting byte counts into human-readable file sizes.
Upgrade Python to 3.10 or newer, or pin `humanize < 4.14.0` in your dependencies.
Upgrade Python to 3.10 or newer, or pin `humanize < 4.11.0` in your dependencies.
Upgrade to humanize 4.13.0 or a newer version to benefit from improved rounding and precision in `naturaldelta`.
Upgrade to humanize 4.12.3 or a newer version to resolve the `naturalsize` float input regression.
Install the package using pip: `pip install humanize`
Ensure both datetime objects are either consistently timezone-naive or timezone-aware and in the same timezone. You can explicitly provide a timezone-aware reference point using the `when` parameter in `naturaltime`. ```python import datetime import humanize # Example: Convert to UTC if the original datetime is timezone-aware aware_dt = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc) print(humanize.naturaltime(aware_dt, when=datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc))) # Example: Make the input datetime naive if local time comparison is intended naive_dt = datetime.datetime.now().replace(tzinfo=None) print(humanize.naturaltime(naive_dt)) ```
First, ensure the function name is spelled correctly. If it is, upgrade the `humanize` library to its latest version: `pip install --upgrade humanize`. Then consult the official documentation for the correct usage.
Ensure the locale string is correct (e.g., 'es_ES', 'fr_FR') and that the necessary translation files for `humanize` exist and are accessible at the specified path (if provided). If using a standard locale, ensure `humanize` is correctly installed, as it ships with its own translations.
```python
import humanize
# Example with a supported locale
try:
humanize.i18n.activate('es_ES')
print(humanize.naturalday(datetime.date.today()))
except FileNotFoundError as e:
print(f"Translation error: {e}. Check if 'es_ES' translations are available or path is correct.")
