PyPI Build Status License: MIT

A simple utility to convert values between different units.

Installation

You need Python>=3.6 to use punits.

It can be installed from PyPI with pip using

pip install punits

Command line usage

python3 -m punits <choice> <source-unit> <target-unit> <value-list>

where choice is the kind of units. Allowed values for are:

  • mass
  • length
  • volume
  • data
  • temperature.

For example, you can use

python3 -m punits mass lb kg 23 46.2 12.46

to get

10.43 20.96 5.65

Use python3 -m punits --help for more information.

Usage as module

The punits() function can be used.

Its signature is:

def punits(measure: str,
           src_unit: str,
           target_unit: str,
           values: List[float],
           params: Optional[dict] = None) -> List[float]

where the params argument can be used to pass additional parameters that may be needed (like dpi value when conversion is from or to pixesl).

For example,

>>> punits.punits('temperature', 'K', 'C', [235, 123.2])
[-38.14999999999998, -149.95]

or

>>> punits.punits('length', 'px', 'mm', [235, 123.2], {'dpi': 200})
[29.844999999999995, 15.646400000000002]
