Bytestring

Given an integer number of bytes, return a string that best represents it:

>>> import bytestring
>>> bytestring.bytestring(1)
'1.000 b'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(100)
'100.000 b'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(1024)
'1.000 KiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(2 ** 10)
'1.000 KiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(2 ** 20)
'1.000 MiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(2 ** 30)
'1.000 GiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(2 ** 40)
'1.000 TiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(123456789)
'117.738 MiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(753429186)
'718.526 MiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(7534291860)
'7.017 GiB'
>>> bytestring.bytestring(75342918600)
'70.169 GiB'

Given a string, return the number of bytes it represents:

>>> bytestring.parsebytes('100')
100.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('1k')
1024.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('1kb')
1024.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('1kib')
1024.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('200 mib')
209715200.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('2 GB')
2147483648.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('0.5 GIB')
536870912.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('512M')
536870912.0
>>> bytestring.parsebytes('99 Y')
