>>> from bitmath import *

>>> GiB(42) * 3
GiB(126.0)

>>> Bit(9) + Byte(3)
Bit(33.0)

>>> exbi = EiB(0.6)

>>> mega = MB(700)

>>> exbi / mega
988218432.5201545

>>> exbi - mega
EiB(0.599999999393)

>>> mega + exbi
MB(6.91752903464e+11)

>>> print "Over 9000 Gibibits: %s" % Gib(9001)
Over 9000 Gibibits: 9001.0Gib

>>> thirty_megabytes = MB(30)
>>> thirty_megabytes.bytes

>>> thirty_mb_as_kb = kB(bytes=30000000)

>>> print thirty_megabytes, thirty_mb_as_kb
30.0MB 30000.0kB

>>> thirty_megabytes == thirty_mb_as_kb
True

>>> TiB(1) < GB(1000)
False

>>> TiB(1) < GB(10000)
