Python library providing effortless unit handling and currency conversion for scientific and engineering purposes.

misura is a powerful Python library designed to facilitate the efficient handling of units of measure for scientific and engineering applications, including currencies handling and conversion with constantly updated exchange rates. With its unified interface for dealing with different units and their conversions, you can quickly and accurately complete calculations without the need for complex manual conversions. Additionally, misura supports uncertainty handling allowing you to work with physical quantities and their associated uncertainties in a user-friendly and intuitive fashion. What's more, misura grants you the flexibility to create custom units of measure, so you can work in your preferred units.

Make sure to take a look at the documentation, at the contributing guidelines and at the examples.

Importing misura

misura can be imported by:

import misura

Examples

These are some examples of operations between quantities.
Note that, by enabling globals.style.unitHighlighting, misura uses colorama to highlight units of measure. by disabling it, the output is in the form of num [unit]

Mathematical operations

from misura.quantities import quantity

num1 = quantity(2, "m s-1")
num2 = quantity(4, "m s-1")
num3 = quantity(2, "s", .5)

print(num1 + num2)
print((num1 + num2).dimension())
print(num1 * num2)
print(num1 / num3)
print(num3 ** 2)

The output is:

6 m / s
[length / time]
8 m(2) / s(2)
1.0 ± 0.25 m / s(2)
4 ± 2.0 s(2)

Currencies

from misura.currencies import currency

cur1 = currency(2, "EUR")
cur2 = currency(3, "USD")

print(cur0 * 2)
print(cur1 + cur0)

The output is:

4 EUR
5.17 USD

Working with other libraries

from misura.quantities import quantity, convert
from decimal import Decimal, getcontext
import numpy

getcontext().prec = 40

arr1 = numpy.array([quantity(2, "m"), quantity(50, "m s-1"), quantity(2, "kg")])
arr2 = quantity(numpy.array([1, 2, 3]), "J")
num2 = quantity(numpy.sqrt(Decimal(5)), "kg")

print(arr1 * 3)
print(arr2 ** 2)
print(num2)

The output is:

[6 m 150 m / s 6 kg]
[1 4 9] J(2)
2.236067977499789696409173668731276235441 kg

Unit highlighting helps distinguish between different numbers.

User defined units of measure

from misura.quantities import quantity, convert
from misura.tables import addUnit

addUnit("volume", {"L": 1, "daL": 10, "hL": 100, "kL": 1000, "dL": 0.1, "cL": 0.01, "mL": 0.001}, "dm3")

num1 = quantity(3, "L")

print(convert(num1, "cm3"))

The output is:

3000.0 cm(3)

Manual and automatic conversion

from misura.quantities import quantity, convert

num1 = quantity(2, "m2")
num2 = quantity(4, "kg")
num3 = quantity(400, "m s-1")

print(convert(num1, "cm2"))
print(num2 + quantity(5, "g"))
print(convert(num3, "km", partial=True))

The output is:

20000.0 cm(2)
4.005 kg
0.4 km / s

Unpack derived quantities

from misura.quantities import quantity, unpack

num1 = quantity(2, "J2")
num2 = quantity(4, "C H")

print(unpack(num1))
print(unpack(num2, "H"))

The output is:

2.0 kg(2) m(4) / s(4)
4.0 C kg m(2) / A(2) s(2)

Pack derived quantities

from misura.quantities import quantity, pack

num1 = quantity(3, "N m T")
num2 = quantity(45, "A2 s2")

print(pack(num1, "J", ignore="T"))
print(pack(num2, "C", full=True))

The output is:

3.0 J T
45.0 C(2)

Comparisons

from misura.quantities import quantity

num1 = quantity(2, "m s-1")
num2 = quantity(4, "m s-1")
num3 = quantity(2, "s")

print(num1 > num2)
print(num2 < 6)
print(num1 > num3)

The output is:

False
True

misura.conversion.ConversionError: cannot convert from 's' to 'm s-1'
raised by: '2 s' -> 'm s-1'

Unary operators and functions

from misura.quantities import quantity
from misura.globals import style
from math import trunc

style.quantityHighlighting = False

num1 = quantity(2, "m s-1")
num2 = quantity(4.5, "m s-1")
num3 = quantity(-2, "s")

print(-num1)
print(trunc(num2))
print(abs(num3))

The output is:

-2 [m / s]
4 [m / s]
2 [s]

Formatting

from misura.quantities import quantity

num1 = quantity(2000, "m s-1")

print("Exponential notation: {:.2e}".format(num1))

The output is:

Exponential notation: 2.00e+00 m / s
