It provides a comprehensive and extensive list of physical units, prefixes and constants defined in a standalone text file. The registry can parse prefixed and pluralized forms of units resulting in a much shorter and maintainable unit definition list. It also provides great NumPy integration without monkey patching or importing a particular module, with implicit unit conversion and an emphasis on correctness.

It deals properly with differences of temperatures, providing useful error messages when the requested operat...
