Units of measurement

This is the units package. It contains information about many units
and conversions between them.

TUTORIAL:

To return a unit::

    sage: units.length.meter
    meter

This unit acts exactly like a symbolic variable::

    sage: s = units.length.meter
    sage: s^2
    meter^2
    sage: s + var('x')
    meter + x

Units have additional information in their docstring::

    sage: # You would type: units.force.dyne?
    sage: print(units.force.dyne.__doc__)
    CGS unit for force defined to be gram*centimeter/second^2.
    Equal to 10^-5 newtons.


You may call the convert function with units::

    sage: t = units.mass.gram*units.length.centimeter/units.time.second^2
    sage: t.convert(units.mass.pound*units.length.foot/units.time.hour^2)
    5400000000000/5760623099*(foot*pound/hour^2)
    sage: t.convert(units.force.newton)
    1/100000*newton

Calling the convert function with no target returns base SI units::

    sage: t.convert()
    1/100000*kilogram*meter/second^2

Giving improper units to convert to raises a ValueError::

    sage: t.convert(units.charge.coulomb)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    ValueError: Incompatible units

Converting temperatures works as well::

    sage: s = 68*units.temperature.fahrenheit
    sage: s.convert(units.temperature.celsius)
    20*celsius
    sage: s.convert()
    293.150000000000*kelvin

Trying to multiply temperatures by another unit then converting raises a ValueError::

    sage: wrong = 50*units.temperature.celsius*units.length.foot
    sage: wrong.convert()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    ValueError: Cannot convert

TESTS:

Check that :trac:`12373` is fixed::

    sage: b = units.amount_of_substance.mole
    sage: b.convert(units.amount_of_substance.elementary_entity)
    6.02214129000000e23*elementary_entity
