units and uncertainty in python

[John van der Koijk]

I've never written a followup directly to myself...

Well, Konrad Hinsen has made public the module
Scientific.Physics.PhysicalQuantities 
which seems to handle units at least. It has

Constructor:
     * PhysicalQuantity(value, unit), where value is a number of
       arbitrary type and unit is a string containing the unit name.
     * PhysicalQuantity(string), where string contains both the value and
       the unit. This form is provided to make interactive use more
       convenient.

I might try to fit that in with an ensemble-uncertainty class.
