measured 0.8.1

Fast and Pythonic library for working with measurements and quantities

measured

measured is a library for measurements and quantities.

>>> from measured import Speed
>>> from measured.si import Meter, Second
>>> distance = 10 * Meter
>>> time = 2 * Second
>>> speed = distance / time
>>> assert speed == 5 * Meter / Second
>>> assert speed.unit is Meter / Second
>>> assert speed.unit.dimension is Speed

The goal of measured is to provide a sound foundation for recording and converting physical quantities, while maintaining the integrity of their units and dimensions.

While it aims to be the fastest library of its kind, automatically tracking the units and dimensions of quantities introduces significant overhead. You can use measured for applications where the accuracy of the units is more important than raw numerical computing speed.

measured is licenced under the MIT Licence.

Installing

measured is available on PyPi, and is tested with with Python and PyPy 3.8+:

$ pip install measured
