This is the documentation for unyt (pronounced like "unit"). This package
provides a python library for working with data that has physical units. It was
originally developed as part of The yt Project but
was split out as an independent project so that other Python projects can easily
make use of it.
The unyt library defines the :class:`unyt.array.unyt_array` and :class:`unyt.array.unyt_quantity` classes for handling arrays and scalars with units, respectively.
In addition, unyt provides a number of predefined units and physical constants
that can be directly imported from from the unyt namespace:
>>> from unyt import G, Mearth, Rearth
>>> v_esc = (2*G*Mearth/Rearth)**(1./2)
>>> print(v_esc.to('km/s'))
