Presumably as in https://pypi.python.org/pypi/humanize

The page states "This modest package contains various common 
humanization utilities, like turning a number into a fuzzy human 
readable duration ('3 minutes ago') or into a human readable size or 
throughput.  It works with python 2.7 and 3.3 and is localized
to Russian, French, and Korean."
