Unit Computation with Pint

Cognitive prosthetics for unit-aware computation. Use Pint for converting between units, performing unit arithmetic, checking dimensional compatibility, and simplifying compound units.

When to Use

  • Converting between units (meters to feet, kg to pounds)
  • Unit-aware arithmetic (velocity x time = distance)
  • Dimensional analysis (is force = mass x acceleration?)
  • Simplifying compound units to base or named units
  • Parsing and analyzing quantities with units

Quick Reference

I want to...CommandExample
Convert unitsconvertconvert "5 meters" --to feet
Unit mathcalccalc "10 m/s * 5 s"
Check dimensionscheckcheck newton --against "kg * m / s^2"
Parse quantityparseparse "100 km/h"
Simplify unitssimplifysimplify "1 kg*m/s^2"

Commands

parse

Parse a quantity string into magnitude, units, and dimensionality.

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    parse "100 km/h"

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    parse "9.8 m/s^2"

convert

Convert a quantity to different units.

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    convert "5 meters" --to feet

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    convert "100 km/h" --to mph

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    convert "1 atmosphere" --to pascal

calc

Perform unit-aware arithmetic. Operators must be space-separated.

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    calc "5 m * 3 s"

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    calc "10 m / 2 s"

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    calc "5 meters + 300 cm"

check

Check if two units have compatible dimensions.

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    check newton --against "kg * m / s^2"

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    check joule --against "kg * m^2 / s^2"

simplify

Simplify compound units to base or compact form.

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    simplify "1 kg*m/s^2"

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    simplify "1000 m"

Common Unit Domains

DomainExamples
Lengthmeter, foot, inch, mile, km, yard
Timesecond, minute, hour, day, year
Masskg, gram, pound, ounce, ton
Velocitym/s, km/h, mph, knot
Energyjoule, calorie, eV, kWh, BTU
Forcenewton, pound_force, dyne
Temperaturekelvin, celsius, fahrenheit
Pressurepascal, bar, atmosphere, psi
Powerwatt, horsepower

Output Format

All commands return JSON with relevant fields:

{
  "result": "16.4042 foot",
  "magnitude": 16.4042,
  "units": "foot",
  "dimensionality": "[length]",
  "latex": "16.4042\\,\\mathrm{ft}"
}

Error Handling

Dimensionality errors are caught and reported:

# This will error - incompatible dimensions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/pint_compute.py \
    convert "5 meters" --to kg
# Error: Cannot convert '[length]' to '[mass]'
