BackTalk to Document The Zope Book (2.6 Edition)/Using Zope Page Templates

---------------

    There are a few cosmetic problems with the file library as it
    stands. The size and date displays of the default content are very
    pretty, but the values returned from Zope don't match the format
    of the dummy content. Instead, they are "raw" numbers.  You would
    like the size of the files to be displayed in K or MB rather than
    bytes. Here's a Python-based script that you can use for this::

      ## Script (Python) "file_size"
      ##
      """
      Return a string describing the size of a file.
      """
      bytes=context.getSize()
      k=bytes/1024.0
      mb=bytes/1048576.0
      if mb > 1:
          return "%.2f MB" % mb
      if k > 1:
          return "%d K" % k
      return "%d bytes" % bytes
