XML Parser for <macro> error with less than operator

Trying to make a macro like this, and leverage for pulling bandwidth out of show interface from some Cisco devices with Ansible.

def convertBandwidth(kbps):
    if not isinstance(kbps, float):
        kbps = float(kbps)
    step_unit = 1000.0

    for unit in ['Kbps', 'Mbps', 'Gbps', 'Tbps']:
        if kbps < step_unit:
            return f"{kbps:.0f} {unit}"
        kbps /= step_unit
    return kbps

It functions as pure python, but when moving to a Macro block it doesn't. Through troubleshooting adding I've discovered the if kbps < step_unit is what is hosing things up. Reversing it to if step_unit > kbps: fixes things. So I think it's something to do with the XML parsing thinking its an opening tag, especially based on this output when running via ttp directly.
