Thanks to all the bitmath contributors over the years!
9.2. bitmath-1.3.1-1¶
bitmath-1.3.1-1 was published on 2016-07-17.
9.2.1. Changes¶
Added Functionality
New function:
bitmath.parse_string_unsafe(), a less strict version ofbitmath.parse_string(). Accepts inputs using non-standard prefix units (such as single-letter, or mis-capitalized units).Inspired by @darkblaze69’s request in #60 “Problems in parse_string”.
9.2.2. Project¶
Ubuntu
Bitmath is now available for installation via Ubuntu Xenial, Wily, Vivid, Trusty, and Precise PPAs.
Ubuntu builds inspired by @hkraal reporting an installation issue on Ubuntu systems.
Documentation

bitmath.parse_string()function now can parse ‘octet’ based units. Enhancement requested in #53 parse french unit names by walidsa3d.
Bug Fixes
#49 - Fix handling unicode input in the bitmath.parse_string function. Thanks drewbrew!
#50 - Update the
setup.pyscript to be python3.x compat. Thanks ssut!
9.4.2. Documentation¶
The project documentation is now installed along with the bitmath library in RPM packages.
9.4.3. Project¶
Fedora/EPEL
Look for separate python3.x and python2.x packages coming soon to Fedora and EPEL. This is happening because of the initiative to update the base Python implementation on Fedora to Python 3.x
