How To Install python2-bitmath on CentOS 7
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python2-bitmath on CentOS 7.
What is python2-bitmath
bitmath simplifies many facets of interacting with file sizes in various units. Examples include prefix units (GiB to kB), converting between units of the same type (SI to SI, or NIST to NIST), basic arithmetic operations (subtracting 42KiB from 50GiB), and rich comparison operations (1024 Bytes == 1KiB), bitwise operations, sorting, automatic best human-readable prefix selection, and completely customizable formatting. In addition to the conversion and math operations, bitmath provides human readable representations of values which are suitable for use in interactive shells as well as larger scripts and applications. It can also read the capacity of system storage devices. bitmath can parse strings (like “1 KiB”) into proper objects and has support for integration with the argparse module as a custom argument type and the progressbar module as a custom file transfer speed widget. bitmath is thoroughly unittested, with almost 200 individual tests (a number which is always increasing). bitmath’s test-coverage is almost always at 100%.
