Demo

Rest mass of an electron

>>> from electronvolt import *
>>> me
9.1093837015e-31 * kg

Rest energy of the electron, in SI units

>>> me * c**2
8.187105776823886e-14 * m**2 * s**-2 * kg

In mega electronvolts

>>> me * c**2 / MeV
0.5109989499961642

This matches the electron rest energy on this Wikipedia page.

Rest mass of an electron, with uncertainties

>>> from uncertainties import ufloat
>>> ume = ufloat(9.1093837015, 0.0000000028) * 1e-31 * kg
>>> ume
(9.1093837015+/-0.0000000028)e-31 * kg

Rest energy of the electron, with uncertainties

>>> ume * c**2
(8.1871057768+/-0.0000000025)e-14 * kg * s**-2 * m**2

This matches the electron rest energy on the same Wikipedia page.
