Description: byteformat is a Python library and command line script for displaying numbers
        of bytes as strings using standards-compliant human-readable units such as
        '23 KB' or '1.25 terabytes'.
        
            - Supports both official standards and the common de facto standard:
        
                * SI decimal units, e.g. 1000 bytes = 1 KB;
                * IEC binary units, e.g. 1024 bytes = 1 KiB;
                * Mixed decimal names with binary sizes, e.g. 1024 bytes = 1 KB.
        
            - Supports the full set of decimal prefixes from kilo- to yotta-
              and the binary prefixes kibi- to yobi-.
            - Generate strings using symbols (e.g. 'KB'), abbreviated names
              ('Kbyte') or full names ('kilobyte').
            - Uses correct plural terms when needed.
            - Automatically selects the best unit for a given number of bytes.
            - Allows the caller to explicitly override that selection and select 
              which unit to use.
            - Easily customise the output without subclassing.
            - Importable as a Python library module.
            - Runs as a command line script.
