unxt-api

Note: As of v2.0.0, unxt-api is a backward-compatible shim for unxts.api — the new canonical location for this package. No code changes are required: import unxt_api continues to work exactly as before. New projects should prefer pip install unxts.api and import unxts.api.

Abstract dispatch API for unxt.

unxt-api defines the abstract dispatch interfaces that unxt and other packages implement. It provides a minimal dependency foundation for packages that want to define or use unxt's multiple-dispatch-based API without pulling in the full unxt implementation.

Installation

pip install unxt-api          # legacy name — continues to work long-term
pip install unxts.api         # canonical name going forward

Migration

If you currently depend on unxt-api, you have two options:

1. Do nothing — unxt-api re-exports the full public API from unxts.api and will be maintained long-term. Existing code requires no changes.

2. Migrate to unxts.api — change your dependency and imports:

   - pip install unxt-api
   + pip install unxts.api
   

   - import unxt_api as uapi
   + import unxts.api as uapi
   

   All public symbols (uconvert, ustrip, unit, dimension, etc.) are identical — the canonical package is the source of truth and the shim simply re-exports from it.

Core API

• Dimensions — dimension, dimension_of
• Units — unit, unit_of
• Quantities — uconvert, uconvert_value, ustrip, is_unit_convertible, wrap_to
• Unit Systems — unitsystem_of
