So far, I think SymPy's unit system is one of the most advanced out there. There is a bit of concern on its robustness as it's not been thoroughly tested, and parts of it are still under development.

Even the units of a quantity depend on the chosen unit system. A nice thing to have is a formula converter for unit systems. For example, transform the Maxwell equations from SI to natural units and vice versa. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
