I remember writing this up as an idea for Fortran back in the early 80's, only to find a CACM paper from 1978 exploring the idea: "Incorporation of Units into Programming Languages", Karr& Loveman, May 1978.
But it would still be a cool idea for Python. Perhaps it's already there and I haven't noticed?
