pyui.format_length will format imperial units properly. It will additionally use the preset number of digits in PYTHA. Therefore, its use for any length is preferred over pyui.format_number
A ` behind the formatted number indicates that digits are not being displayed. As long as this number is not modified, PYTHA will use the exact recall of the original number. For further information please check the general PYTHA documentation.
