def formatbytes(sizeint, configdict=None, **configs):
    """
    Given a file size as an integer, return a nicely formatted string that
    represents the size. Has various options to control it's output.
    
    You can pass in a dictionary of arguments or keyword arguments. Keyword
    arguments override the dictionary and there are sensible defaults for options
    you don't set.
    
    Options and defaults are as follows :
    
    *    ``forcekb = False`` -         If set this forces the output to be in terms
    of kilobytes and bytes only.
    
    *    ``largestonly = True`` -    If set, instead of outputting 
        ``1 Mbytes, 307 Kbytes, 478 bytes`` it outputs using only the largest 
        denominator - e.g. ``1.3 Mbytes`` or ``17.2 Kbytes``
    
    *    ``kiloname = 'Kbytes'`` -    The string to use for kilobytes
    
    *    ``meganame = 'Mbytes'`` - The string to use for Megabytes
    
    *    ``bytename = 'bytes'`` -     The string to use for bytes
    
    *    ``nospace = True`` -        If set it outputs ``1Mbytes, 307Kbytes``, 
        notice there is no space.
    
    Example outputs : ::
    
        19Mbytes, 75Kbytes, 255bytes
        2Kbytes, 0bytes
        23.8Mbytes
    
    .. note::
    
        It currently uses the plural form even for singular.
