Yes, indeed that's even coming out when executing its own test suite:
Python is warning that as is a keyword in 2.6.

William, as I stated in the wiki, I'm gaining interest toward Unum. I
was going to include some examples of Quantites in SAGE as well (for
"par condicio", as they say in Italy).

I don't know what about contacting the author or modifying the code,
but please consider also the effort needed to make it work with the
non-arithmetic functions:
1. trigonometric
2. integration, derivation
3. possibly compatibility with symbolics?

I would consider point (1) the minimum necessary to avoid making Unum
(or any other units package) inclusion meaningless.

Thanks for the interest, anyway

Regards

Maurizio
