Pint is a Python library for defining, operating on, and manipulating physical quantities (a numerical value paired with a unit of measurement). It supports arithmetic between quantities, unit conversions, a comprehensive built-in set of units and constants, and numpy integration.

Use cases

• convert between units of measurement in Python
• do arithmetic on quantities with units like meters and seconds
• avoid unit conversion bugs in scientific code
• work with numpy arrays that carry physical units
• build a unit converter CLI
• define custom units and constants for a domain

When to choose

• your Python code mixes quantities with different units and needs safe conversions
• you want numpy-compatible physical quantities with minimal dependencies
• you need an extensible units registry with custom units, prefixes, and constants

When to avoid

• you need symbolic math or a full computer algebra system
• your project is not in Python
• you only need a one-off unit conversion without a library dependency
