unyt 1.0.1

A package for handling numpy arrays with units

unyt

A package for handling numpy arrays with units

Features

Often writing code that deals with data that has units can be confusing. A function might return an array but at least with plain NumPy arrays, there is no way to easily tell what the units of the data are without somehow knowing a prioi.

The unyt package provides a subclass of NumPy’s ndarray class that knows about units. For example, one could do:

>>> import unyt
...
>>> cars = ['toyota', 'volkswagen', 'honda']
>>> distance_traveled = [3.4, 5.8, 7.2] * unyt.mile
...
>>> print(distance_traveled.to('km'))
[ 5.4717696  9.3341952 11.5872768] km

And a whole lot more! See the documentation for more examples as well as full API docs.
