According to the official What's New In Python 3.0 guide, the reduce() function has been moved out of the global namespace and into the functools module.

But wait! There's more! Let's take another look at that strange line of code from humansize.py: -

if size < multiple:
+
if size < multiple:
     return "{0:.1f} {1}".format(size, suffix)

 
 
{1} is replaced with the second argument passed to the format() method, which is suffix. But what is {0:.1f}? It's two things: {0}, which you recognize, and :.1f, which you don't. The second half (including and after the colon) defines the format specifier, which further refines how the replaced variable should be formatted.
