Currently, I store the units information about all variables in a
separate dictionary:
udict = {}
udict[H_l] = H_l*units.energy.joule/units.length.meter^2/
units.time.second
...
I also have a cdict for prescribed parameter values and I could add a
docdict for the description of the variables.
Are you suggesting that such information could be stored with the
object name? I think that would be nice. So if I typed H_l?, I would
see the entries for that key in all the dictionaries I defined?
The reason why this would be helpful is that I often don't remember
the exact name of a variable, so I could type 'H_'+<tab> to see all
the names starting with 'H_' and then go through them and immediately
see their meanings, units, etc.
Cheers
Stan
