Following the feedback on the first release of magnitude it has changed enough to deserve a second release, which modifies the API, solves a couple of bugs, and brings it in line with python's style guide. Main changes:
* imul, idiv had wrong output unit, so that after a /= b printing showed wrong units. * mod's output has the units of the division. * outputPrecission, defaultFormat and outputUnits are now output_precision, default_format and output_units. Magnitude: A physical quantity is a number with a unit, like 10 km/h. Units can be any of the SI units, plus a bunch of non-SI, bits, dollars, and any combination of them. They can include the standard SI prefixes. Magnitude can operate with physical quantities, parse their units, and print them. You don't have to worry about unit consistency or conversions; everything is handled transparently. By default output is done in basic SI units, but you can specify any output unit, as long as it can be reduced to the basic units of the phisical quantity.
