Work with quantities (values with units) in Python? Come and help brainstorm ideas and voice your opinions for standardised APIs!
Discussion session for https://github.com/quantity-dev/metrology-apis and related efforts.
https://github.com/quantity-dev/metrology-apis is a cross-ecosystem effort to standardise APIs for Metrology in Python. The vision is to have libraries like Pint, astropy.units, and Unyt all adopt common APIs which consumers can then use in a ‘backend-agnostic’ fashion.
Come along to learn about the current design prototypes and proposals, and voice your ideas for what these APIs should look like!
